THE YELLOW LEAF
Hopelessly entangled love affairs, savage wit and jousting egos combine to create a fascinating, funny, and haunting evening of theatre based upon historical fact. In the fateful summer of 1816, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft and their companions flee England escaping scandal. Shuttered in Byron's villa on the shores of Lake Geneva, they turn to the supernatural as Byron challenges them to each write a ghost story - a competition that will not only spawn Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but also shape the destinies of these extraordinary individuals whose lives defined an age. Written while in residence at The MacDowell Colony.
