Creative Cauldron Presents World Premiere Musical: Monsters of the Villa Diodati
January 30 – February 22, 2016 at ArtSpace Falls Church
 
Falls Church, VA   Creative Cauldron will premiere Monsters of the Villa Diodati, a new musical written by Stephen Gregory Smith and Matt Conner.  Following the critical success of their musical premiere The Turn of the Screw last season, Monsters is the second installment in Creative Cauldron’s “Bold New Works for Intimate Stages” five-year commissioning project.  The musical draws its inspiration from events surrounding a famous gathering of 19th century writers on Lake Geneva during the stormy summer of 1816.  While entertaining one another with ghost stories, Lord Byron, their host, offered his guests a challenge:  who among them could write the perfect tale of terror?  From this exercise, two of the most famous stories in gothic literature were born:  John Polidori’s The Vampyre and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The production will run from January 28th through February 21st, 2016 at ArtSpace Falls Church.  Press Night is Saturday, February 6th at 8:00 pm.
