Wrong Theatre with Frankenstein at the Norwegian Theatre
A tale of brave children and sloppy adults, in a newly written version based on the classic novel.
This fall, Feil Teater will move into Scene 3 at Det Norske Teatret. They will be there for a whole year and create theatre for children. First up is Frankenstein, a horror film for children aged 10 and up. We are so lucky that we have a collaboration between Showbox and Det Norske Teatret, and Feil Teater, so that Frankenstein will be part of the festival programme!
Everything in this story is found on.
Yet it is all true.
Quarter
only
word.
The young student Victor Frankenstein has locked himself in his 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 against 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?
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.
Feil Teater received the Hedda Prize in 2023 for best performance for children with 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.
