BoHo Presents PLAYING WITH FIRE, Opens 3/6
Bohemian Theatre Ensemble (BoHo) presents the intriguing play Playing with Fire (after Frankenstein) by Barbara Field which explores what happens after Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. An exhausted and dying Victor Frankenstein has finally tracked down his Creature in the lonely, frozen tundra of the North Pole. Determined to right the wrong he has committed by, at last, destroying the malignant evil he believes he has created.
As the two debate, scenes from the past flash by: Frankenstein's young bride, whom the Monster killed when the scientist failed to provide him with a mate of his own; the brilliant, Professor Krempe, Frankenstein's university mentor; and moments between the youthful Victor and his brother, who also fell victim to the Creature's vengeance. Ultimately the exchange between Frankenstein and the Creature becomes a confrontation between parent and child, scientist and experiment, rejection and love, and even good and evil-culminating in the Creature's agonizing question, "Why did you make me?"
It is a question the exhausted Frankenstein cannot answer.
Join BoHo as they present this fascinating and soul-searching piece of art. The questions brought to the fore are ones all of us examine throughout our lives and must sometimes be willing to let go ...unanswered.
