Photo Flash: First Folio Theatre Celebrates World Premiere of THE MAN-BEAST
From the playwright who wrote The Gravedigger and Dr. Seward's Dracula, comes the final installment of his classic horror trilogy, a werewolf tale straight out of history. A dangerously romantic werewolf tale set in the 18th century French countryside, THE MAN-BEAST tells the tale of a mysterious wild animal ravaging the livestock and citizenry, leaving behind a trail of blood and death. When Louis XVI puts a bounty on the animal, the mystery and horror only deepen. No one has been able to trap the perpetrator, but the citizens have seen the gory results of its savage attacks and suspect that it's a Loup-Garou, the savage werewolf of French legend.
THE MAN-BEAST, written by Joseph Zettelmaier and directed by Hayley Rice, features Elizabeth Laidlaw as Virginie Allard and Aaron Christensen as Jean Chastel. The artistic team includes Scenic Design by Angela Weber Miller, Lighting Design by Michael McNamara, Original Music and Sound Design by Christopher Kriz, Costume Design by Rachel Lambert, Properties Design by Vivian Knouse, Violence Design by Rachel Flesher, and Julia Zayas-Melendez as Stage Manager.
THE MAN-BEAST runs through November 5, 2017 at the Mayslake Peabody Estate, located at 1717 W 31st St., off Rt. 83, in Oak Brook. Free parking. Tickets are $34 Wednesdays and Thursdays (seniors and students are $29), and $44 on Fridays through Sundays (seniors and students are $39). For tickets and more information, call the box office at 630.986.8067 or go online at www.firstfolio.org.
