By combining literary and dramatic narrative with eye-witness accounts of Sasquatch encounters culled from the internet, The Securely Conferred, Vouchsafed Keepsakes of Maery S. reinvents as many versions of the Frankenstein author Mary Shelley as there are definitions of the word ""Gothic."" In this work, a string of financial, maternal, and familial misfortunes causes Shelley-referred to in this production as Maery S.-to spawn a monstrous creative expression, which takes on its own life and violent history. Maery cannot help but fall in love with her Monster, only to see it ""collected"" and imprisoned by charitable funding at a mandatory artists' residency.

Reviews for The Securely Conferred, Vouchsafed Keepsakes of Maery S.

"""Riveting...Kempson’s feminist politics are provocative, as is the way the play’s structure enacts a central theme of “Frankenstein” itself. Dr. Frankenstein created the monster, Shelley created Frankenstein, and Kempson re-creates Shelley out of a mishmash of details, some real, but many fictional."" * New York Times *"
