A riveting and bold retelling of the Gothic masterpiece about Victor Frankenstein and his creation, told through the lens of Mary Shelley’s own tragic story. Deeply human, it explores ambition, the impact of scientific progress, and the intertwined nature of master and monster in a fresh perspective on this literary classic.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Southern Utah University

This clever comedy tells of a tight-knit group of friends whose carefully curated lives unravel when their book club becomes the subject of a documentary. As tensions rise and secrets emerge, the laughs build in this witty satire about literature, the chaos of group dynamics, and the stories we tell ourselves, proving real life is often the most unpredictable plot of all.
