FRANKENSTEIN; or, The Modern Prometheus
A new, one-man play faithfully adapted from Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 novel of Gothic horror.
 
THE STORY: London, 1799.  Having returned to England after a failed sea expedition to the North Pole, Capt. Robert Walton is entreated to describe his strange encounter with Victor Frankenstein, a young science student whom he had rescued after finding him nearly frozen and traveling by a dog-drawn sled across the ice.  Walton then recounts Frankenstein’s own fantastic tale of a monster he had fashioned from the parts of stolen corpses -- only to reject, then pursue his creation across Europe into the Arctic hinterlands of Russia, vowing to destroy it…or die in the trying.

A must-see for Frankenstein enthusiasts and fans of mystery and horror.  One  actor. One hour.  Suitable for adults and for children (ages 12 and over).  Perfect for the Halloween season!  Written & performed by Greg Oliver Bodine.  Directed by DeLisa M. White.  

More information on Friends of the Canton Library’s webpage.

 No need to RSVP. Let’s meet there, and maybe get a drink after the show and definitely walk home together!!!

Shaken Not Stirred—and Zero Proof

Saturday, Sept. 28, 5-7pm

Do you enjoy a festive drink? You know, the fancy kind, with a slice of dried lemon or a sprig of basil? But perhaps you’ve decided it’s not worth the messed up sleep. And you’ve just learned the word “hangxiety.” Want to enjoy a drink AND still quickly think of where to place the ‘q’ in Scrabble? 

Join neighbors for an evening of muddling, drinks, and maybe a board game. Try out the latest in mocktails. We’ll mix the drinks. We’ll also have non-alcoholic beer and wine. (The neighborhood has a great store nearby: Hopscotch.)

Our host will be Viv Thompson. RSVP to hello@whatsnextbaltimore.org to find the location. Limit: 12.
