Frankenstein 1930
By: Fred Carmichael
Harking back to the original concept of Frankenstein, this version amplifies the film's suspenseful horror and adds greater depth of character and motivation as well as a new and different love story. All of the eagerly anticipated elements are here: the stone walled laboratory, the crazed scientist, angry villagers, a swooning heroine, a fearful storm and the hideous yet pathetic, deadly creature with its confused mind and powerful, undisciplined body. The final confrontation between the doctor and the creature produces a startling surprise. "A genuine thriller.... Memorable entertainment." Gainville News. "Will give you a full measure of thrills and laughs ... [with] ever increasing suspense." Glens Falls Post Star. "Pure gold.... You'll have to go a long way to find a better play." Greenwich Journal.

The Art of Dining
By: Tina Howe
Cal and Ellen are the owners and sole staff of a small, elegant gourmet restaurant. Cal's main preoccupation is paying back the $75,000 it cost to start it up, and that means packing in the customers. Chef Ellen is preoccupied with the food's quality and stopping Cal from sampling the ingredients. The diners act out their own private dramas over dinner and their conversations are exquisite burlesques of contemporary attitudes. There's a sensual middle aged couple who go into paroxysms of ecstasy just reading the menu and then there's three crass chic young career women. Finally, there's Elizabeth, a maladroit, shy and neurotic writer who's dining with her prospective publisher. Her actions and conversation are unintentionally hilarious and a delicious example of how not to act and what not to talk about while dining.
"A spicy compote of social satire, slapstick zaniness, sight gags and the funniest play I've seen in a long time." Village Voice. (Summary from Dramatists.com)
