The Craigdarroch Castle will be the stage for a one-man production of a classic tale this Halloween.

Starting in October, actor Jason Stevens will bring Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to life in the castle’s dance hall.

“Victor Frankenstein created a monster. The terror and fear that the monster inspired are legendary. But do you know the real story? Do you dare listen to it in the upper reaches of Craigdarroch Castle on a dark October night?” says the event listing. 

Stevens, known for his popular one-man production of Charles Dickens’ 1843 classic, is a classically trained actor from the prestigious Drama Centre London.

He worked as an actor in London and New York for many years, and in Canada he has appeared in a number of film and television roles, as well as performing with various theatre companies in Victoria and Vancouver.

Shows begin Friday, October 14 at 6 pm and 8 pm.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the castle’s visitor centre.
