What It's About

Regional favorite and Jobsite Ensemble member Giles Davies brings this stunning one-person tour-de-force that formerly dazzled audiences at Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival to the Jaeb, just in time for Halloween! Literate, wildly theatrical and faithful to Shelley’s original, Davies’ virtuoso display of acting and artistry will surely keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

Critic Reviews

Tour de force' doesn't even sound strong enough for what Davies accomplishes here ... more than just a horror story; it's a heartbreaking account of man's misguidance when he tries to outdo God, striving for immortality and faltering in the most horrific way. His creation, his failure, isn't a monster as much as a victim. And our hearts break for the creature at every turn. – BroadwayWorld
