CLONING MARY SHELLEY trailer LynchPin Productions Theatre Company

Cloning
Mary Shelley
A Fantasia
by Jack Lynch and Edie Campbell
Drawing on Mary Shelley's life and her novel "Frankenstein", this one-woaman play explores reproductive technology, the act of creation, and the struggle to know ones real identity. It dissects the relationship of actress Edie Campbell with the life and
writings of Mary Shelley, and the eternal conflict between science and art. Employing everything from creation myths to potato heads, Cloning Mary Shelley is an original contribution to the ethical debate
surrounding stem-cell research, reflecting on some of the questions facing us today as baby-makers.
"This is a work of great empathy and invention, a model for monologists" 5-Stars Edmonton Journal
