Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

FRANKENSTEIN

MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN

May 8–September 1, 2019

Written and Directed by Ensemble Member David Catlin
From the Book by Mary Shelley

Within every man there is a monster; within every monster, a man. But which is which?

An eerie evening of ghost stories crackles to life as Mary Shelley unspools her tale of Victor Frankenstein and his unholy experiment. This gothic tale of love, horror, and the power to create life—and destroy it—awakens in this visceral, original retelling of Frankenstein.

Fresh from the brain of Ensemble Member David Catlin, creator of Moby Dick and Lookingglass Alice, comes a galvanic adaptation of this undying story. See for yourself this latest invention come to shocking life!
