Theatre review by Kindle Carpp

The Phoenix Theatre production of Ms. Frankenstein’s Monster lit up the stage this weekend with a delightful blend of wit, whimsy, and gothic charm. This clever comedy by Albert J. Green reimagines the classic Frankenstein tale through a fresh, feminist lens — and the result is as funny as it is empowering.

One of the standout performers was Erin Hobbs as Joan, also known as “Miss Monster,” whose campy energy and fearless humor made every scene impossible to look away from. Hobbs brought just the right touch of theatrical flair to the role, perfectly capturing the play’s over-the-top style while keeping her character grounded and endearing.

Keith Remon delivered a memorable turn as the Baron — the kind of villain you love to hate — whose mischievous charm kept the audience grinning from start to finish. Meanwhile, James Lynch, as the Monster, showed excellent comedic timing, turning what could have been a purely physical role into a surprising source of heart and campy humor.

From the spirited direction to the enthusiastic performances, this production was clearly a labor of love. Ms. Frankenstein’s Monster proved both smart and side-splitting, offering a night of laughter with a message that still resonates.
