MINNEAPOLIS — The Guthrie Theater’s new season includes a revival of an acclaimed Frankenstein play, “Guys and Dolls” as the summer musical and an adaption of “Cyrano de Bergerac” by artistic director Joseph Haj.

The Guthrie on Wednesday announced seven of the eight productions in its 2018-2019 subscription season. The Tony-winning Minneapolis theater will announce a Shakespeare play later this spring.

“Playing with Fire” opens the season on Sept. 15. Minnesota playwright Barbara Field’s adaptation of “Frankenstein” was commissioned by the Guthrie and toured the U.S. in 1988.
