Frankenstein – Wrong Theatre / Det Norske Teatret

Everything in this story is found on.
Yet it is all true.
Quarter
only
word.

The young student Victor Frankenstein has locked themself in their castle, and here he is working to achieve the impossible: to create life in a dead body. When he finally succeeds in bringing the creature to life, it is anything but what he had dreamed of. Victor throws the creature out the door, and this sets in motion a series of horrific events. And when horrific things happen, you only have two options: you can lock yourself in, or you can ask for help. But who wants to help a monster?

Classics for children

Frankenstein is a horror for brave children and squeamish adults, in a newly written version based on the classic novel by Mary Shelley that has given readers chills for over 200 years. Rotten brains, doomed villains and grotesque science are stitched together into a story about what makes a creature a monster, and about wanting to be feared when you can't be loved.
But hey: If you get scared, you can grab the arm next to you. Just make sure it's securely attached to the body it belongs to, so you don't end up with a loose arm in your lap...

THE SHOW IS SCARY AND SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN 10 AND UP. It is not recommended to bring younger siblings.

In the fall of 2026, the theater company Feil Teater moved into Scene 3 at Det Norske Teatret. They will be here for a whole year, creating theater for children.

In 2023, they received the Hedda Prize for best performance for children with the performance Nordpolen Magiske Trikketransport , and in 2025 they were nominated in the same category for Flukten fra Botsen.
Feil Teater works to ensure that theatre is inclusive, builds community and is affordable for everyone. The performances are based on many different themes, but common to them all is a playful theatrical expression that attracts those who do not normally visit the theatre.

The first performance on Stage 3 is Frankenstein .
