Frankenstein
Based on the novel by Mary Shelley
Adapted by Bretton Reis
Produced by Players' Ring Theatre
"It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils..." - Victor Frankenstein
As the leaves fall and the days grow darker, join us for Mary Shelley's masterpiece of horror. You may know the story of Frankenstein's blind ambition and his grotesque creature, but you've never seen it told quite like this. The world premiere of a nightmarish adaptation from award-winning writer/director Bretton Reis, "Frankenstein" will chill you to the bone.
"I set out to create a new adaptation, one that would delve into the mind of the first-ever mad scientist. With a small, swirling ensemble, we would explore his ambition, his grief, his alienation, and his struggle to love. Our intent has been to honor Shelley’s Frankensteinby capturing its essence, if not its scope or literal transpirations. Shelley’s work is studded with Romantic poetry, sublime descriptions of landscape, periods of nightmare, and most critically, episodes of blood-curdling terror. Those are the facets of Frankenstein that we want to present." – Bretton Reis
