A new work by Rebecca Brown
World premiere!

Saturday, Dec 07 at 08:00PM
Rebecca Brown is the author of twelve books of memoirs, collections of stories, plays, and has collaborated on new work around the city, including at On the Boards and on an opera with Michael Katell. With Monstrous, a new piece for Live at the Film Forum, she takes as her touchstone the Romantic writers who pre-date cinema, but whose images and ideas have informed our concept of what is "cinematic": dangerous romance, aesthetic and political revolution, the tearing at old ways of seeing, untimely death, resurrection, natural destruction, beauty and ruins.
Central to Monstrous is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a novel that became a watershed film in 1931. Brown's live show will take on monstrosity, birth, death, resurrection, surf rock, pasta, woodenness, God, being a bride and horrible and gracious forms of (re)animation.
