Herbert West: Re-Animator
Production photograph by Bootsy Holler, preserved in The Stranger’s March 2003 preview.
Five actors and a crackerjack chamber ensemble tell the gruesome tale of a young idealist’s spiral into madness as he learns that his mentor, the singularly unscrupulous Dr. Herbert West, will stop at nothing to obtain subjects for his hideous and unnatural experiments.
Adapted from a story by H.P. Lovecraft, who will personally introduce each performance.
