Role: M’Ling / Survivor 2

Based on ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ by H.G. Wells.

Set in a trauma support group in the present day, the story follows Prentiss, telling her story of being shipwrecked on a mysterious island inhabited by Moreau, a scientist conducting disturbing experiments in vivisection, transforming animals into human-like creatures. As Prentiss tells her story, the space and actors around her become the set and props, and the members of the support group — willingly or no — become the characters.
