Trapped in the arctic ice, Captain Robert Walton rescues a man floating on the frozen sea. As the mysterious stranger recovers, he recounts the harrowing tale of his life. How he brought to life a creature of dead flesh, abandoned his creation to the wild, and the deadly chain of violence and terror that followed. But who is the monster, and who is the man?

Press:

"The New Muses presentation of this archetypal drama is a brilliant construction of theatrical art. The spare cast of four is uniformly impeccable. Olson is great as Victor Frankenstein... Stahl imbues (the Creature) with a sensitive vitality... McRill is spellbinding as she plays a multitude of characters... The sound and the music are sumptuous, but the lighting effects are exquisite... One of the finest New Muses theatrical productions that I’ve seen to date." - Dave R. Davison (Tacoma Weekly)
"For those whose unfamiliarity with the original novel may cause them to picture Frankenstein's monster as a lumbering, grunting giant, New Muses Theatre Company's new production of Frankenstein may be somewhat startling... Stahl, here, is a force of nature. As one might expect, the role of the Creature is a difficult one, but Stahl attacks it with a palpable gusto... Even as the Creature does hideous things in the name of getting revenge on Frankenstein, Stahl imbues the character with an aching sadness." - Rev. Adam McKinney (Weekly Volcano)
"It is past time Tacomans come to know New Muses Theatre Company… Their shows are invariably well produced with outstanding sets and lighting, and fine actors, all despite limited budgets…. [Frankenstein] is a tour de force of acting by the four-person cast, including two cast members who switch constantly between 18 different characters, convincingly so without resorting to costume or makeup or any special effects…. The set, designed by Olson, adds immensely to the drama, and creates a rough and foreboding sense of time and place." - Alec Clayron (Tacoma News Tribune)
