"All I ask is the possibility of love!"

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

"I followed nature into her lair, and stripped her of her secrets! I brought torrents of light to a darkening world! Is that wrong?"

Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.

Originally produced by the National Theatre of Great Britain, “Frankenstein is a humane,
intelligent retelling of the original story in which much of the focus is on the plight of the obsessive scientist's sad creation, who becomes his alter ego and his nemesis…. Above all, they constantly make us ask which of the two main characters is the real monster.”

In this play about found family and yearning to go some place you can never find, a group of people work at a cemetery in the fictional Ashworth, New Hampshire; some wish they were elsewhere and others are perfectly happy to be miserable where they are.

Ronnie used to be married to Bobby, who is unhappily married to Ricky. Mike plays drums in a wedding band on the weekend and can't stop talking about the song "Pour Some Sugar on Me." Johnny shows up at the cemetery surreptitiously recording a podcast called "Welcome to AshTown." They all work together digging holes and passing the time.

When the WalMart of cemeteries opens across the street everybody begins to worry about losing their jobs so they plan to put on a production of Three Sisters to raise money to buy the cemetery themselves.
