Wankenstein

by Mackenzie Worrall

Dr. Frankenstein has used kickstarter funding to create the perfect man with his grad student, Igor. His perfect man turns out to be interested in other perfect men, though. Afraid this will jeopardize his work, the Doctor tries to figure out how to salvage his accidentally-gay monster.

    Do you like a little social commentary with your comedy? "Wankenstein" is funny and crass, and it upends a lot of science fiction tropes with its modern tech and philosophy.

    There's also a nice, subtle message about LGBTQI+ folks being their own person -- not just a disappointment, accessory, or mascot for straight folks.

    Wankenstein knows all your expectations about the story of Frankenstein, from decor to characters, and it satisfyingly subverts each and every one of them as it delivers laugh after laugh. My favorite thing is the moment when they famously "flip the switch" to awake the monster-- this time the switch is on an iPad.
