A rare opportunity to experience this compelling text with a master.
Haggarty will present a two hour performance of Mary Shelley’s
Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus, followed by a discussion of
fictional texts for performance. Frankenstein’s Daemon gained a
purchase on the public’s imagination in 1818 and it has held fast
ever since.
NOTE: Ben Haggarty's workshop will be held on Friday, May 21 from 12:00–3:00 PM and is NOT at Kennedy Grove! Admission to the workshop is NOT included in an All-Weekend Pass. Tickets must be purchased separately.
