FRANKENSTEIN or, The Modern Prometheus
A one-man play faithfully adapted from Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 novel of Gothic horror.
THE STORY: London, 1799. Having returned to England after a failed sea expedition to the North Pole, Capt. Robert Walton is entreated to describe his strange encounter with Victor Frankenstein, a young science student whom he had rescued after finding him nearly frozen and traveling by a dog-drawn sled across the ice. Walton then recounts Frankenstein’s own fantastic tale of a monster he had fashioned from the parts of stolen corpses -- only to reject, then pursue his creation across Europe into the Arctic hinterlands of Russia, vowing to destroy it…or die in the trying.
A must-see for Frankenstein enthusiasts and fans of mystery and horror. Suitable for adults and children (ages 12 and over). Written & performed by Greg Oliver Bodine. Directed by DeLisa M. White.
