Project Description

Villa Diodati, 1816. Mary Shelley is woken by her lover, Percy, with the question “have you thought about having children?”
Mary answers the only way she knows how: by starting to tell the story of a doctor and his creation, and the moral and personal dilemmas they wrestle with.
