"At its heart, Zettelmaier's play is concerned with the deepest questions of how a human soul is formed." - Chicago Tribune A gothic drama inspired by Mary Shelley's classic novel. Set in the late 1700s, in one of Bavaria's forgotten cemeteries, a lone gravedigger discovers a hideously scarred man hiding in a fresh grave. What the gravedigger doesn't know is that the man is none other than the legendary monster created by a mad doctor. What the scarred man doesn't know is the gravedigger's hand in his creation. And what neither men know is that they are hunted by their shared past.
"Zettelmaier's play is an exploration of what makes a person human. If we are more than the collection of our parts, when does our soul develop?" - Pridesource
