Is a monster born or made?
Where does our responsibility lie?

Based on the classic horror story by Mary Shelley, this gripping new adaptation explores the extraordinary attachment between Dr Frankenstein and his creation – an attachment, they both grow to realise, that only death can break.

Produced in partnership with The Georgian Theatre Royal, Richmond.

Written specially for this increasingly successful company by Tom Needham whose TV credits include Cold Blood, Silent Witness, Dalziel & Pascoe and over 60 episodes of The Bill; and whose plays include The Wreckers and Won’t Be Long.

Acclaimed by critics and audiences for its faithfulness to Shelley’s original work, its dramatic intensity and the “impressively judged atmosphere of dread throughout…this is a well-crafted production, born of intelligent, measured acting and a collective artistic belief.” (The Stage). “This first class two hander is home grown, organic, brave and unmissable.” (The Northern Echo)
