Play summary:
Frankenstein, a play adapted by Tim Kelly, features Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, who returns to his Swiss chateau to escape a terrible pursuer. No one can shake free the dark secret that terrifies him: not his mother, nor his fiancée, nor his best friend. Even the pleading of a gypsy girl accused of murdering Victor’s younger brother falls on deaf ears, for Victor has brought into being a creature made from pieces of the dead. The creature tracks Victor to his sanctuary to demand a bride to share its loneliness. Against his better judgement, Victor agrees and soon the household is invaded by murder, despair and terror!
Directed by Wayne Crow and produced by Laurie Maria Cabral and John Bosco.
