The legendary writer of Frankenstein is irritated to find herself a ghost, consigned to a dreary graveyard in Bournemouth, England. Reluctantly compelled to tell the story of her life, Mary masterfully delivers a spirited tale encompassing her passionate loves and heartbreaking losses, the real inspiration behind her greatest work of literature, and the terrifying secret she had always hoped to take to her grave, a secret that refuses to let her go until she’s faced it once and for all. Packed with poetic prose and mysterious twists, Mary Shelley’s Body – a one-woman show featuring Spreckels Artistic Director, Sheri Lee Miller – is a stormy collision of romance, horror, historical fact and fiction, and unforgettable storytelling.
