A nice, if not well written, review of DR. FRANKINCENSE AND THE CHRISTMAS MONSTER from the Toulucan Times

“Dr. Frankincense and the Christmas Monster,” written and directed by Sean Abley, is hugely inventive with high-energy and colorful characters. Dr. Frankincense is a misunderstood mad scientist (not an evil scientist) who is on trial before the Christmas Supreme Court, charged with attempting to ruin Christmas. To placate the townspeople and judges, he creates a benevolent Christmas Monster from the leftovers of Christmases past.
Strong performances are by Dr. Frankincense (Brad Griffith), his assistant Myrrh (Dylan Vox), Christmas Monster (Walker Davis) and Mrs. Evergreen (cute as a button Libby West). Stellar performances are Dr. White (Sam Hill, with a comedic style reminiscent of Dom Deluise), Mrs. Noel (Alexandra Billings, stealing every scene she’s in with her forceful personality) and Ghost of Christmas Past (Tchia Casselle, who stays in character as a perfect lush constantly drinking from her flask).

One of the funniest lines among many is when a judge asks Mrs. Noel if Billy is her only son. She answers with humorous intent, “Yes, he is the first Noel.”

“Dr. Frankincense and the Christmas Monster” is at the Write Act Repertory Theatre (6128 Yucca Avenue, Hollywood, CA). Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, ending December 19. Tickets are $15 with discounted rates of $10 for seniors, students and groups. For more information, call (323) 469-3113

Today is World AIDS Day, and I’m so incredibly proud and thankful for FANGORIA being supportive of this. The (presumably) first World AIDS Day interview on a mainstream horror website. My friend, SOCKET’s Alexandra Billings!
