"Shall each beast have his mate, and I be alone?"

Victor Frankenstein is on the run from himself. Tormented by conflicting desires for his fiancé and best friend, and terrified of the weakness of his vessel, he resolves to build something better, stronger, and purer than humanity. This tight, erotically charged adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is performed by four actors and scored by live electric guitar.

The Firebird Project is an NYC-based theatre production and education company that shines a new light on classical narratives. Since 2013, Firebird has produced original theatre productions that reworked well-known stories like Romeo and Juliet, Alice in Wonderland, and The Seagull, with a goal to present the myths you know and love in ways you’ve never seen them before. We also offer year-round arts education workshops & classes for teen artists, including acting, improv, playwriting, filmmaking, and roleplaying games. Both our production and education wings emphasize lasting diverse and multidisciplinary community, artistic and intellectual curiosity, and a critical approach to the classical canon.
