Memories of Frankenstein (1995)

Jerome Hill had a little outdoor theater on the shore of the Mediterranean Usually he brought over some musicians like the Julliard Quartet But in 1966 he persuaded the city of Cassis to cosponsor he sponsored part of it himself the Living Theatres production of Frankenstein A special theater was built outdoors for the performance Jerome wanted somebody to record the event I agreed to help him I filmed Frankenstein a spectacular piece of theatre that to me remains the greatest theatre experience of my life But the results of my filming were so far from the actual experience that I put the footage away intending to never release it I dont think it works as film However today seeing how little documentation there remains from the Sixties theater I have decided to release it I have to stress that these are only fragments of the actual 4hour production thats why the title MEMORIES OF FRANKENSTEIN
