You're a Good Man, Mary Shelly at Annoyance Theatre

In 1815 the volcano, Mount Tambora, erupted, causing severe climate abnormalities. In 1816 the poet Lord Byron rented a home in Switzerland and invited several poets, including Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley to summer with him. The climate changes caused an unbearably cold summer, so the poets holed up in the Villa Diodati and had a competition to write the scariest ghost story. Mary Shelley, having never written anything in her life, won by writing Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus. But what happened to the other ghost stories, and why weren't they as good as Frankenstein? In a Treehouse of Horror style format, "You're a Good Man, Mary Shelley" explores the five ghost stories that were garbage compared to Frankenstein, while also revealing the complex relationships the poets had with each other during "The Year Without a Summer"
