spit&vigor’s off-broadway debut of MARY’S LITTLE MONSTER coming to The Players Theatre
critically-acclaimed and award-winning company spit&vigor presents the story of the high-stakes competition among literary legends that produced Frankenstein

Thomas Kee’s sexy and gripping drama, MARY’S LITTLE MONSTER, directed by Sara Fellini (2018 Planet Nomination for Outstanding Direction) takes you to the Swiss mansion of Lord Byron in 1816, the year without summer, where a circle of intimate friends including Mary Shelley, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, her sister Claire, and Byron’s personal doctor John Polidori gather and decide to have the legendary literary competition that produced Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

From the critically-acclaimed and award-winning company members that brought you IN VESTMENTS (nominated for three NYIT awards, won Outstanding Premier Production and Outstanding Direction) and THE BRUTES (nominated for seven Planet Awards and one NYIT Award), MARY’S LITTLE MONSTER is a powder keg of love, sexual trysts, and art. The piece is staged intimately in Lord Byron’s parlor. Sex, sword fights, legends of literature, and Frankenstein.

The cast features Adam Belvo (2015 Planet Connections Outstanding Lead Actor winner, 2016 and 2019 NYIT Outstanding Lead Actor nominee), Sara Fellini (2015 Planet Award Outstanding Lead Actress nominee, 2018 Planet Award Outstanding Direction nominee), Damien Hughes (Dinosaurs in the Wild, What the Monsters Know), Nicole Orabona (Unmaking Toulouse-Lautrec, This is Not a Theatre Company), Nicholas Thomas (The Brutes, Blunderbuss Productions).

The lighting design is by Chelsie McPhilimy (2016 NYIT Award nominee). Costumes are designed by Sara Fellini (2018 Planet Award Outstanding Costume Design nominee).
