Kate Pioch is Elizabeth Lavenza, Victor’s childhood friend, and Lucy Gallagher is Clara Knox, his first love. Mary Faith Ulery is Justine Moritz, Clara and Elizabeth’s Romantic and Radical companion. Rounding out the cast are Benjie Bledsoe as Frankenstein’s mentor Dr. Robert Knox, Joseph Fournier as Frankenstein’s volatile father Edmund, and Sarah Rondeau as Mary, his mother.
