How to Make a Monster
#Digital Resources
In BAC Beatbox Academy’s hit show, six talented performers interpret Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein from their own perspective as young people growing up in 21st-century Britain. 200 years after the 18-year-old Mary Shelley wrote the text, these young artists explore how modern monsters are created in today’s society. This musical film is part performance, part documentary, with the cast’s voices as the only instruments. Bringing their own interpretation of the Frankenstein story to life with a dazzling array of vocal talents including rap, beatboxing and song; the cast create a breath-taking musical soundscape filled with memorable original tracks.
Originally devised for the stage, the unanimous 5* live show Frankenstein: How to Make a Monster was a huge hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and sold out its international debut run at the Adelaide Fringe.
