Saturday 16 November—Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
2:00pm or 7:30pm at the Playhouse-£22.00 per person
An eighteen-year-old girl, Mary Shelley, dreams up a monster
whose tragic story will capture the imaginations of generations
to come. A young scientist by the name of Frankenstein
breathes life into a gruesome body. Banished into an indifferent
world, Frankenstein’s creature desperately seeks out his true
identity, but the agony of rejection and a broken promise push
him into darkness. Dangerous and vengeful, the creature
threatens to obliterate Frankenstein and everyone he loves, in a
ferocious and bloodthirsty hunt for his maker.
Rona Munro’s brilliant new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Gothic
masterpiece places the writer herself amongst the action as she
wrestles with her creation and with the stark realities facing
revolutionary young women, then and now.
