After
all the film interpretations one can possibly imagine, it is now the turn
of the theatre to give a new version of Frankenstein's story.
So
it is now up to Tullio Solenghi, Antonello Dose and Marco Presta to bring
the scientist with the fixed idea of giving life to a new creature back
to life.
And
they did it in their own way.
As
Italy's most famous coffee-drinker stated: “Telling Frankenstein's story
and leaving him unaffected by these years' events was a useless thing,
I believed. So we thought it was fundamental to sacrifice the double Creator
- Creature to the media”.
This
is how Frankensteinmusical, currently being performed at Milan's
Teatro Carcano, was born.
The
creature of the trio (an outstanding trio, clearly) made by Solenghi, Dose
and Pesta, also thanks to Daniele Silvestri's music, manages to keep the
public's attention alive especially in the first half of the show, whereas
it becomes a little less interesting in the second half.
Near
Solenghi the good Giancarlo Cosentino as a revenue officer and Donatello
Falchi as Igor particularly stand out.
It
is a nice show that certainly Solenghi built for himself and whose attraction
clearly depends on his histrionic qualities.
Even
if the show will not go down in history as one of the most beautiful Italian
musicals - I don't think its authors expect that - Frankensteinmusical
at least deserves to be remembered because it doesn't take things too seriously
and gives the public two hours of sheer fun.
