Hopelessly entangled love affairs, savage wit and jousting egos combine to create a fascinating, funny, and haunting evening of theatre in this World Premiere based upon historical fact. In the fateful summer of 1816, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft and their companions flee England escaping scandal. Shuttered in Byron's villa on the shores of Lake Geneva, they turn to the supernatural as Byron challenges them to each write a ghost story - a competition that will not only spawn Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but also shape the destinies of these extraordinary individuals whose lives defined an age.

      If you are a fan of the romantics, you will love this. I studied Byron and Shelley in college; I don't know if I would have appreciated this as much if I hadn't. But the dialogue and events are fast moving, sarcastic and really compelling. They were all such interesting people, and a little racy. They were very unconventional for their day. I loved the set and and actors. Lord Byron was totally convincing as the rake he was. Collapse
