‘Ginny’ Bartholomew,1991 BW grad, re-creating Shelley’s Frankenstein

Back by pop­u­lar demand is “Mod­ern Prometheus: Franken­stein with Mary Shel­ley” and just in time for the Hal­loween sea­son as Mary Shel­ley breathes life into her time­less tale in this one-woman show.

Fol­low­ing a crit­i­cally acclaimed run at NICU’s Spoon The­atre in Man­hat­tan, Vir­ginia “Ginny” Bartholomew, a 1991 grad­u­ate of Big Wal­nut High School, re-creates the hor­ror and beauty of Shelley’s Promethean tale about the ulti­mate quest for eter­nal life gone hor­ri­bly awry in this orig­i­nal adap­ta­tion of Shelley’s clas­sic tale is Gothic horror.

Franken­stein as told by its remark­able author, fea­tur­ing her ambi­tious young doc­tor and the voice of his poignant, but aban­doned cre­ation, will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Bartholomew, a 2011 NYIT Best Lead­ing Actress Nom­i­nee, is the daugh­ter of Karen Cor­bitt of Sun­bury and the Rev­erend William Bartholomew of Elmore, Ohio, and sis­ter of Laura (Bartholomew) Stim­mel of Sunbury.

Adapted by Bartholomew and directed by Will Le Vasseur, “Mod­ern Prometheus: Franken­stein with Mary Shel­ley” is a one-evening-only per­for­mance pre­sented as part of United Solo, the world’s largest solo the­atre fes­ti­val.
