[NEohioPAL] Kennelly Review: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

[Laura Kennelly]

*Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein*, now at Playhouse Square’s Outcalt Theatre,
weaves a mesmerizing tale about monsters both human and human-made.

Playwright David Catlin has cleverly interspersed Mary Shelley’s well-known
horror tale with the somewhat less well-known story about its genesis. It
was 1816 and the wealthy, but socially outcast George Gordon, Lord Byron,
had invited a trio of other British misfits (poets, teenage free-lovers) to
join him and Dr. Polidore (his physician) in his Swiss lakeside villa....

It would be hard to overpraise this production. Directed with finesse by
Michael Barakiva, the stellar cast of five actors summons Catlin’s layered
drama to life with precision timing.
