Frankenstein: How to Make a Monster

BAC Beatbox Academy鈥檚 hit show re-imagined for the screen with six talented young beatboxers interpreting Frankenstein and exploring how today鈥檚 society creates its own monsters.

In BAC Beatbox Academy鈥檚 hit show, six talented performers interpret Mary Shelley鈥檚 novel Frankenstein from their own perspective as young people growing up in 21st-century Britain.

Two hundred years after the 18-year-old Mary Shelley wrote the text, these young artists explore how modern monsters are created in today鈥檚 society. This musical film is part performance, part documentary, with the cast鈥檚 voices as the only instruments.

Bringing their own interpretation of the Frankenstein story to life with a dazzling array of vocal talents including rap, beatboxing and song, the cast create a breathtaking musical soundscape filled with memorable original tracks.

Originally devised for the stage, the live show Frankenstein: How to Make a Monster was a huge hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
