Decades after his Hollywood success as director of hits like Frankenstein,

Bride of Frankenstein, and Show Boat, James Whale is now retired and slowly

facing dementia. His caring housekeeper, Maria, quietly disapproves of

Whale's faceless, nameless parade of young gay lovers. But when the director

takes an interest in Clayton, the new African American gardener, it appears

to be for something more than his usual casual conquest. This haunting new

stage adaptation of Bram's best-selling novel explores issues of aging, race,

sexuality and bigotry with intelligence, insight and compassion.
