Plant City Entertainment, Inc. presents: The Legend Of Frankenstein, Unleashed!
Written and directed by the brilliant Carlton Jones, The Legend of Frankenstein, Unleashed! is the third installment of the stage trilogy, The Legend of Frankenstein. A three act play, it is presented with each act taking place during a different time period. The new thriller has more than one monster that will spring to life in a masterful production full of twists and turns that will span time from the 1870’s to the 1970’s. Like the first two productions, there is again a nod to Madame Tussaud’s. When two of the creatures are visited at Watson Manor by a 1940’s film crew, surprises, terror and death occur. In the late 1960’s, a monstrous secret is revealed. The finale is classic monster time with a riveting ending that no one sees coming!
The Legend of Frankenstein, Unleashed! will be hailed as the perfect terror tale for the Halloween season, starting on Sept. 29 and running select nights through Oct. 8.
