Rob Melrose directs this new play featuring James Carpenter* (The Creature), Gabriel Marin* (Victor Frankenstein), and Garth Petal (Captain Walton). The design team includes Cassandra Carpenter (costumes) and Cliff Caruthers, who has created an original soundscape for the production. THE CREATURE plays October 23 through November 7 (Press opening: Sunday, October 25) at Thick House (1695 18th St., between Carolina & Arkansas) in San Francisco. For tickets ($20-30 sliding scale) or more information, the public may call (415) 401-8081 or visit thickhouse.org.

Ugo's Last Dance is a haunting tale about three clowns, whose fame as political commentators under the previous regime, leads them-under a tyrannical usurper-to languish their days away in a jail cell, where the play is set.
