Frankenstein

Written when she was only nineteen, Mary Shelly’s iconic, much-heralded, dark Gothic tale of young Victor Frankenstein’s relentless quest to fashion the penultimate man out of cadaver parts is brought to vivid life in a thrilling new adaptation. Mary’s exploration of what it means to take responsibility for one’s actions, in an era of significant political, social, scientific and religious change, is as enthralling today as it was in 1818. What leads someone to dare play the Creator, and what is the cost? Victor’s life is forever changed after he turns in horror from his own ‘creature’ unwittingly setting it loose upon the world.
