Help Bring Frankenstein to Life!!!



Howdy! I am directing an awesome new project for Landless' 10th Season. It's a Prog-Metal Rock Opera by Richard Campbell called Frankenstein and I'm super excited about it. I love Metal, and Prog-Metal is definitely my favorite, so when we decided to produce this show, I nearly went crazy. When I was a tween, I used to sit in my room and pen really bad Rock Operas featuring all my favorite metal stars: King Diamond, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson. I dreamed of a day when I could put Metal up on stage in a theatrical setting. It never looked like it was going to happen because the world of traditional theatre was not very welcoming to loud Metal as a way of telling a story. Well, my dream is about to come true, minus my Metal idols, and it all feels surreal. I want to share what I love with others and maybe inspire people, who don't think they're into theatre, to come and have a great time. We've started an Indiegogo campaign to raise some funds for Frankenstein, so we can make it as rocktastic as possible. Check out our videos, check out the music, which you can buy on iTunes or listen to on Spotify, and donate if you can. Even a $1 will mean something to us. And if you can't donate, then please share our link with your friends. We love non-traditional theatre and we hope you do too!
