Black Box Theatre presents

No green skin, no neckbolts--this is an elegant, presentational production based on Mary Shelley's novel. Told from The Creature’s point of view and juxtaposing the stark first years of his existence with the scientist’s denial of his creation, THE CREATURE breathes new life into this timeless supernatural tale in a fugue-like cacophony of horror, revenge, and redemption.

In 2006 and 2007, Black Box Theatre recorded podcasts witha live studio audience (one is available below), and finally in 2009 we're presenting the world premiere production. Please join us for one of our 10 performances between October 23 and November 7 (Thursday-Saturday 8PM; Sunday 7PM; opening night is October 25) at Thick House in San Francisco. Call (415) 401-8081 for tickets.
