Theatre Emory Creates Frankenstein’s Monster Of A Show With “Midnight Pillow”

Theatre Emory is celebrating the 200^th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s foundational horror novel, “Frankenstein.” And Atlanta actor and director Park Krausen has created a sort of Frankenstein’s monster of her own with the show “Midnight Pillow,” which is inspired by Shelley and features the work of 13 writers from all around the world.

Krausen says she was more interested in Shelley as a person and as a woman working in an era when women were not often recognized. The prompt and title for the show come from a quote from the author describing her monster as “the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.”
