Victor Frankenstein is on the run from himself. Tormented by conflicting desires for his fiancée and best friend, and terrified of the weakness of his vessel, he resolves to build something better, stronger, and purer than humanity. This tight, erotically charged adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is performed by four actors and scored by live electric guitar.
