Frankenstein (Globalstage)

1 review
Louisville, Kentucky Stage One

Globalstage Productions, 1997

As stated on the back of the video itself:
Victor Frankenstein is a man with a mission: to discover the secret of eternal life. Blinded by scientific ambition, he gives life to a monster - and then must face the consequences of his hubris. A horror story with a conscience. Frankenstein raised questions about scientific ethics and responsibility that are still debated today. Masterful direction combines with vivid costumes and sets ...

Globalstage, 1999

Excellent teaching tool for drama class
I am teaching this play in my middle school drama class this semester. After viewing several productions, I chose this videotape. The staging is innovative and clever, the performances are excellent. There are heavy cuts to the text; some of the characters (like the lovable Ragueneau) all but disappear. In this instance I feel it helps focus the play on the central conflict and makes it ...

Pinocchio (Globalstage) [VHS]
Pinocchio, Louisville, Kentucky Stage One Theatre

Globalstage, 1999

Children's theater is not represented well in the world of video. Many stage classics become video presentations with either realistic settings or mind-bending effects. The Globalstage folk look to change that with a series (six per year) of plays filmed on stages around the world. Except for a maddening opening with host Professor McNamer tooling around Louisville, Kentucky, talking to a youngster about the city and the play before entering the ...

Far From the Madding Crowd (Globalstage) [VHS]
Far from the Madding Crowd, Herts, England SNAP People's Theatre Trust

Globalstage, 1999

This videotaped stage production by England's Snap Theatre is a broadly comic presentation of Thomas Hardy's 1874 novel. Mark Ryan's adaptation of farmer Bathsheba Everdene's vexing choice among three very different men is aimed squarely at young people. The tape opens with a young teenage boy and a teacher discussing Hardy's life and visiting his boyhood home in the British countryside, which serves as a visual textbook-style ...

An Immaculate Misconception

One of the most challenging issues of the 21st century is the impending separation of sex (in bed) and reproduction (under the microscope) as a result of recent advances in contraception and assisted reproduction. Many of the ethical and societal issues associated with these new reproductive technologies, notably intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), are raised in an unusual format namely in dialogic form which is both entertaining and ...
