HIGH VOLTAGE REVIEW

Mary Shelley’s gothic tale, Frankenstein isn’t exactly a bundle of laughs. Mary, it seems, didn’t do jokes. Fast forward 200 years or so to The Stretton Players Spring production of High Voltage, Chris Niblock’s reimagining of this classic tale and there were jokes aplenty delivered with perfect timing by a superb cast.

But failure isn’t an option or Victor and his fiancee Elizabeth will find themselves on a mortuary slab. An acute shortage of female cadavers, a pair of incompetent grave-robbers and a series of shocks of the non-electrical kind, keep Victor in a spin right up to the final curtain,
