STOCKTON -- Delta Drama is back starting Oct. 7 with the electrifying tale of a creature cast away by his creator into a hostile world, only to wind his way back in a dangerous game of destruction and vengeance. 

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered Creature searches for a place to belong and to make sense of its own existence.  

The gothic tale which has captivated audiences for over 200 years comes to life in this atmospheric and emotionally haunting adaptation of the chilling fable by Mary Shelley. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, social rejection, intellectual hubris, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic story.

The production is free and open to the public.
