Anat Cogan as Mary Shelley

On a Dark and Stormy Night

1816. Switzerland. A violent storm wails beneath sunless skies. Five friends take shelter in an old abandoned villa. In the darkness, a chilling game begins. Who can create the most terrifying story? 

 

Based on real events, playwright David Catlin evokes a raw, suspenseful, and deeply theatrical adventure. Immerse yourself in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as she mines her own terror, tragedy, and madness to create this unforgettable tale.

 

But as the lines between reality and fiction begin to blur, it begs the question… 

What happens when fear becomes flesh?
