Herndon High School welcomes The
Kennedy Center as it presents
From the Mouths of Monsters
A World Premiere Kennedy Center Commission by
Idris Goodwin
Directed by Douglas Irvine, Inspired by Mary
Shelley’s classic book Frankenstein
Teenager Michelle struggles to find the confidence to speak. A mysterious doctor gives her a mask to help,
but the gift possesses supernatural powers that cause her to give words amazing
power—and also the potential to cause terrible harm. Will Michelle be able to master the monster
within?
This highly theatrical work is inspired by Mary Shelley’s
enduring classic Frankenstein, which
celebrates 200 years in 2018. For the
book’s upcoming special anniversary, award-winning playwright and BreakBeat
poet Idris Goodwin, along with acclaimed director Douglas Irvine (the Kennedy
Center’s presentations of Jason and the
Argonauts and The Adventures of Robin
Hood), have created a fiercely relevant two-actor play that examines the
monstrous power of words… and those who wield them.
