Frankenstein

Based on the novel by Mary Shelley.

Adapted by Rona Munro.  Directed by Rebecca Moran.  The classic gothic novel adapted for the stage.

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 Shelley’s gothic masterpiece places the writer herself amongst the action and brings her face-to-face with her immortal creation.
