Okay, full disclosure: I was privileged to play Mary in the premiere production of this play. I can honestly say that you will not likely find a play with more beautiful language than David has created here. Difficult, but so rewarding. He has created mesmerizing "flesh histories" for the various parts of the creature, and I can tell you...they are gripping. It's eerie, scary, moving, funny...the audience is taken on a complete and deeply satisfying journey. Gorgeous play. Gorgeous.

We are so excited to hold a staged reading of Mary Shelley's Body this October. It's an absolutely dynamite opportunity for the actor cast as Mary. It is also the rare play that combines horror with deeper, poignant themes of motherhood, creativity, and the realities of being a woman in mostly male spaces. A perfect way to get in the Halloween spirit and still offer the production team some artistic challenges.
