In the page's words:

What happened on that legendary night on Lake Geneva?

In the summer of 1816, five young people meet on a dark lake: Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, Claire Clairmont and the mysterious John Polidori. What begins as a literary competition ends in a storm of fears, madness and creative rage - and gives birth to one of the most iconic characters in world literature: Frankenstein's monster.

"Mary Shelley's Monster" is a theatrical fantasy about the birth of a myth, about youthful hubris, romantic delusions of grandeur and the dark side of creativity. A play about monsters - and those who create them.

With live music, dark wit and melancholy pathos, the Miskatonic Theater brings to life the night in which literary history was written. Intensely performed by a five-member ensemble, with original songs and surprising twists. (And vampires. Anyone up for vampires? We have vampires. At least one!)
