As the play begins, 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, Frankenstein finds that he must first deal with his own responsibility and guilt—for, as their fascinating confrontation develops, it is evident that the Creature has become a pathetic, lonely and even sensitive being who wants only to find love and that he, Frankenstein, by intruding into the very secrets of life, is truly the evil one. As the two debate, scenes from the past flash by: Frankenstein’s young bride, whom the Monster killed out of pique when the scientist failed to provide him with a mate of his own; the brilliant, quick-witted 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 and, as the play ends, the Monster lives on, condemned to pass his remaining days in the awful loneliness he has so desperately sought to escape.

More About Paul Robert Wolf Wilson -
Paul Robert Wolf Wilson is a photographer, cinematographer, previous Chief Storyteller at Rios to Rivers, LEAD Ambassador for the Northwest River Suppliers, and expedition athlete. As a Klamath and Modoc photographer, he focuses his lens on the effects of the climate crisis on frontline indigenous communities and the lands and waters they have stewarded. After his first river trip on the Rio Baker in Patagonia, Paul and his sister started the Maqlaqs Paddle Club in Chiloquin, Oregon, to get more tribal youth onto our ancestral rivers in kayaks, he uses his storytelling and recreational platforms to rally public education and support around river stewardship- taking this struggle from local conversations all the way up to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change. If he’s not on the river or at his desk, you can probably find him off-trail, struggle-busing with a backpack full of camera gear.
