Mary Shelley: Frankenstein Unbound
"Her name was Mary Shelley, and this is her tale... not the one she wrote, but the one she lived."
Genre: historical drama
Writing prodigy Mary runs away with her lover, the radical free-love poet and science enthusiast Percy Shelley, and Mary's naive aspiring-starlet stepsister tags along. They end up at the retreat of Lord Byron, a capricious bad-boy celebrity for whom Claire is a groupie - together, they form a group of intellectuals who call themselves 'The Elect'. When Byron issues a challenge to write a frightening story, Mary weaves their personalities, and her own tragic experiences, into a literary patchwork - but her creation also foreshadows things to come, for the very people who have given her inspiration will become sources of heartbreak...and tragedy.
Mary Shelley: Frankenstein Unbound is an original stageplay written by Carly Bryann Young, based on real-life events from the early 1800's.
A stage reading was performed for the members of the GRT (Group Repertory Theatre) in Burbank, California on St. Patricks' day 2014. The World Premiere was a full production performed on the mainstage Alice Silverman Theatre at the Newport Performing Arts Center in Newport, Oregon under the direction of Carly Bryann Young (August 15-24, 2014). http://www.coastarts.org/events/2014/08/mary-shelley-frankenstein-unbound/

Sample Adaptations
My desire is to take on adaptation assignments for big-budget, commercial action-adventure tentpole films - the PDF documents below are adaptations of known works that I use as writing samples. The rights to these projects belong to their respective copyright holders.
'A Princess of Mars' is a planetary adventure-fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, book one of the series. This script is the first of a projected trilogy, which will include 'Gods of Mars' and 'Warlord of Mars'.

I was really glad when I read an interview with Lynda Carter, in which she stated her desire to see a full-length feature screenplay of 'Wonder Woman' written by a female screenwriter.
I was already in the midst of taking on that challenge, due to my frustration that no one had found the right take on the story. Now more than ever, we need 'Wonder Woman' - as the only iconic superheroine in her own right, she represents the struggle to define what being a woman means. I hope I have portrayed her in a way that does her proper Justice! 'Wonder Woman' is the property of Warner Bros/DC Comics.
