"KARLOFF" is a multimedia one-person play about Boris "Frankenstein" Karloff, authorized by the star's only child, Sara Karloff.
The adventure of the star's life is told in a kaleidoscope of fast-paced, time-hopping and often very funny vignettes which celebrate art, life, and the indomitable human spirit.
A single actor is on stage, but invisible characters abound, and Boris interacts with them as he re-lives moments in his life which spontaneously occur to him.
The theme is self realization.
The subject is the art of acting.
The story: Overcoming physical and cultural handicaps, William Pratt eventually becomes an unlikely success in his chosen field of acting, by making the most out of an equally unlikely opportunity when he's cast in the role of a monster.
The central metaphor: The Frankenstein Monster trying to grasp light when he first sees it, representing Boris, and all of us bumbling creatures, trying to reach and understand more than we're capable of comprehending.
"Lots of laughs and quick paced - I enjoyed the play immensely." audience member Roberta Benson
"Entertaining, humorous, and also incredibly moving." audience member Laura Waters
"The perfect mixture of history, humor and imagination." audience member Cynthia Sloane
