RIC ROYER
Ric Royer will present his final play ever, My Sincerest Apologies, Victor Frankenstein. It is an epic blockbuster featuring sexy actors, manly stage-hands (actual ex-boxers!), ghosts, and hilarious conjoined twins! In this version of Frankenstein, which has very little if anything to do with Frankenstein, Frankenstein offers a public show of erotic apology for falling so deeply in love with beauty that he initiated a sexual relationship with aesthetics itself. Royer will haphazardly juggle so many taboos that he will never work in this town – or any other town – again.
Ric Royer is a writer, performer, writer of performances and performer of writings. He currently lives in Providence, RI. www.ricroyer.com
