Hello, this is Russell McGee, the writer and director of this adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which was originally presented on Halloween in 2018. The name Frankenstein is world-renowned, but what do you really know of Shelley’s original vision? This faithful adaptation presents the 'creature' as an intelligent being that has suffered the injustice of mankind. In celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of Shelley’s creation, we felt it was important to emphasis Shelley’s text and allow the creature to speak for itself, in Shelley’s own words. To that end, we cast a female actor as the creature to help lift Shelley’s voice from the text. We hope you enjoy our production of Frankenstein, thank you for listening.
