The Man-Beast

    The Man-Beast

    In the late 18th century, the wilds of France are stalked by the fearsome Beast of Gévaudan, which has claimed over one-hundred victims in three years. King Louis has offered a rich reward to the hunter who kills the beast, and hunters have come from all over the country to take it down.

    But an outcast forester and a strange woods-witch are crafting their own plans to claim the prize.

    From the playwright of Know fan favorites Pulp and All Childish Things comes a class conscious tale of mystery, passion, and suspense…all inspired by a French legend of a werewolf.

    10 words or less: There’s a wolf at the door.
    Rated: PG-13.

    Running time: 2 hours with one 15 minute intermission.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO LATE SEATING FOR THIS PRODUCTION
