Frankenstein; A Radio Play on Stage
No Nonsense Productions (‘A Christmas Carol’, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, ‘Para Handy’, ‘Dracula’) return with chaotic comedy as part of this year’s Galoshans Festival.
Can it be done? Join three plucky 1950s BBC radio actors as they play dozens of characters and tackle Mary Shelley’s classic, ‘Frankenstein’.
There will, of course, be time for that all important public service announcement and the cast may need a hand creating some sound effects.
Presented as a 1950s radio play on stage this production features live sound effects and period music.
No Nonsense Productions (NNP) was founded in 2008.
Initial productions included ‘The Last Five Years’ (2008), ‘Rent’ (2009) and ‘Spring Awakening’ (2010). NNP also devised original, themed cabarets, established a show choir and performed site specific monologues.
In more recent years NNP has been incorporated as a Community Interest Company and has diversified in to producing comedy sketches and plays.
For the past ten years NNP has produced radio plays on stage such as ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’, ‘Dracula’, ‘Frankenstein’, ‘Para Handy’, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and ‘A Christmas Carol’. NNP makes joyously theatrical work with plenty of scope for audience involvement.
