Soaring guitars, sounding horns, and thundering drums herald the birth of Frankenstein: The Rock Opera.

Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece comes alive in emotional ballads and driving rock music -- from the very first sparks in Victor Frankenstein's laboratory, to his fated wedding night, to the final riveting chase across the Arctic.

Conceived at Davidson College by two English majors, this exciting original musical aptly debuted in the Duke Family Performance Hall in the fall of 2003.
