It’s alive!
To Be Frank is a hilariously horrifying comedy about a monster thrust into creation and trying its best to discover why. Performed and created by Michael Hockey (Bull Rush, Hardly Working) and set to an electrifying live score by Stenn Francis-Deare. This is a raucously fun, delightfully thrilling and incredibly human solo show that brings into question loneliness & love, creation & destruction and how to cope with the emotional intensity of being alive.
With a sprinkling of inspiration from the classic Mary Shelley novel, To Be Frank is a journey of epic proportions – but here, the ‘monstrosity' finally gets to tell its own story.
Meet Frank, the freshly animated being. He’s dying to meet you and leave you in stitches. The good kind.
