Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”

What’s buried comes back to life at Kentucky Shakespeare in a thrilling Louisville premiere by David Catlin, directed by Producing Artistic Director Matt Wallace. On a stormy night in the attic of an old villa, a group of friends challenge each other to tell the scariest story. As young Mary Shelley weaves her spine-tingling gothic tale of Victor Frankenstein and his unholy experiment, the story takes over and reveals dark secrets in her own tragic life. This captivating exploration of love, horror, vengeance, and the power to create life—and destroy it, awakens in this deeply human retelling of the classic novel. Who is the real monster, creature or creator? See for yourself as this latest invention comes to shocking life inside Kentucky Shakespeare’s Headquarters in Historic Old Louisville this fall!
