The classic tale, with a bold new twist!
adapted for the stage by Rona Munro
Directed by Kathy Buckingham-Underhill
This fast-paced, reimagined version of the famous gothic novel is brought to life by Mary Shelley herself!
Immerse yourself in this modern take on a classic tale as the author guides you through Victor Frankenstein’s early life, his quest to discover the essence of being, and the birth of his terrifying creation.
Featuring energetic, physical performances, watch as the Monster is encouraged to reason through his actions while we learn both the tragic consequences of Frankenstein’s folly and a little about how Shelley created this ground-breaking tale.
Don’t miss this starkly beautiful, thought-provoking adaptation that blurs the line between creator and creation.
Age recommendation: Age 12 years and above. Themes of horror and gothic fiction.
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
