CHARACTER BREAKDOWN. (Ages are recommended appearance) Victor Frankenstein (M, early 20’s): Young, handsome, and focused, Frankenstein is determined to overcome death. Motivated by the death of his mother and the writings of noted alchemists of the age, Frankenstein seeks the key to eternal life. Victor’s journey is the journey of all men of ambition.
The Creature (M, ageless): The creation of Frankenstein’s genius/insanity. Assembled from the body parts of criminals and plundered graves, the creature is the stuff of 19th century horror. Massively built and grotesque in his appearance, the creature harbors an intelligence and grace not usually seen from humans. The performer should be of a larger stature who can physically portray a creature in constant emotional pain due to his monstrous birth.
Henry Clerval (M, late 20’s – early 30’s): Victor’s best friend and medical partner. A lady’s man devoted to bedding every merry widow he can, he eventually transforms into Victor’s moral compass.
