"A powerful allegory for loss... As Shelley wrote, 'Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.' Here, that change comes for Victoria, a young university student thrown into a maelstrom of mourning by the death of her father... The truthfulness of Victoria's journey through the stages of grief recasts one of the most well-known monster fables into an authentic and sometimes profound portrait of monstrous loss." -Chicago Tribune

"A mesmerizing descent into madness... In this Frankenstein, the heroine, already an outsider before death plunges her into madness, must save herself. And the audience, captivated from beginning to end, can't help but hope she'll see the light." -Chicago Theater Beat

"A brilliant, dark take on the original... [Kauzlaric] infuses the story with a level of powerful emotion even the original can't lay claim to." -ChicagoOnstage.com
