Frankenstein (On A Budget) at the Octagon Theatre

Frankenstein (On A Budget) is a wildly hilarious and chaotic take on the iconic horror story, where one actor attempts to bring the legendary tale of Frankenstein to life—on an absolutely non-existent budget. Armed with nothing but some questionable backdrops, an abundance of hats, and an array of cardboard props, this uproarious show promises plenty of laughs, puns, and unexpected moments.

In just 60 minutes, the ambitious performer takes on the roles of 25 characters, sings original songs, tackles a mix of accents from around the world, and even squeezes in a dance routine—all while trying to create the ultimate monster and save the day. With its quirky, DIY charm and a full soundtrack of brand new music, Frankenstein (On A Budget) is a playful homage to the classic tale, blending comedy, horror, and absurdity.

Created by the team behind the hit War of the Worlds (On a Budget), this comedy musical features hilarious cardboard creations and characters inspired by both Mary Shelley’s novel and Boris Karloff’s iconic portrayal. It’s the comedy horror spectacle you never knew you needed—don’t miss out!
