We have seen many versions of Mary Shelley's novel since it was published over 200 years ago, from James Whale's 1931 iconic film version to the hilarious Mel Brooks take in 1974, so we know the story. Monica Cross has distilled it to a tightly focused two-hander that examines with great care the relationship between the Creator and the Creation. It goes beyond the tropes and and the jokes and brings out the contrast in brilliant detail and power. Stunning work. (10/15/24)
