Southampton Playhouse: Young Frankenstein
Event Details
Introduced by comedian Eddie Brill!
As the legendary Mel Brooks turns 100, celebrate the funniest movie parody of the 20th century, a black-and-white riff on classic Universal monster movies that gives Gene Hackman one of his most memorable roles. Loaded with hilarious one-liners (“That’s FrankenSTEEN!”) and a kooky atmosphere that doubles as a love letter to the era it sends up, Brooks’ audacious comedy follows a neuroscientist to old Europe where his plan to reanimate dead tissue leads to…well, some sillier results than any other Frankenstein version out there.
THE COMEDY CANON
Abby Russell’s Sticks and Stones Comedy Club and the Hamptons Comedy Film Festival
The laughs continue all summer at the Playhouse with our repertory series The Comedy Canon.
