‘Young Frankenstein’ and ‘Coriolanus’ at Live Arts 7/24-7/26

Live Arts offers up a teen show doubleheader of Mel Brooks’ musical Young Frankenstein and Shakespeare’s tragedy Coriolanus. Monstrous laughter ensues when Frederick Frankenstein, grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, inherits his family’s Transylvania estate and quickly takes up the mad sciences in Young Frankenstein. In Coriolanus, Rome is experiencing famine-induced unrest, which is disrupted by the outbreak of war, leading to shifting allegiances and political upheaval. The shows share a single cast, swapping parts between productions, and alternating performances. $16–20, times vary. Live Arts, 123 E. Water St. livearts.org
