There’s ethereal magic to be found in this stripped and reconstituted Victorian Gothic piece

Theatrically spectacular but without the marvelous profundity of the source novel

Quintessence Theatre dynamically brings to life Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Frankenstein and his monstrous creation in a fantastic, eerily staged production

This month, actor Summerfield showcases another side of her talents with MARY SHELLEY, a solo performance she created for rare book museum the Rosenbach.

This is an opera about monsters—the Frankenstein of the title, a monster we know well from films if not from literature, and the ways in which people become monsters.

The compelling two-act opus captures the historic characters, events, and mood with passion and clarity.
