The National Theatre of the Deaf is thrilled to announce our Mainstage production for 2020! Deafenstein is our Deaf take on the horror classic, Frankenstein, with a modern twist!
Written by Anna Wood-Jacobowitz and produced by Nikolya Sereda, Deafenstein follows two deaf brothers directing the titular film adaptation of Frankenstein. In their version, the Doctor brings a deaf Creature back to life and tries to restore its hearing, unknowingly creating a new companion for his wife Mabel. As secrets develop in the Doctor’s basement, the brothers increasingly disagree on the core message of the story.
