As part of the Hiram College Community Reading Program, the Kent Free Library will show a film about the life of Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley on Thursday, October 11 at 6:30 pm.
This new feature film directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour and starring Elle Fanning tells the story of Mary Shelley and her fiery, tempestuous relationship with romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. At Lord Byron’s house party on Lake Geneva, guests engage in telling ghost stories, and Shelley creates an incredible character, which impacts literature and popular culture for centuries to come. (PG-13) *Due to licensing restrictions, titles of feature films may not be published.
No registration required. Please pick up a ticket at the Information Desk beginning at 6:00 pm.
