Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant and ambitious young student, discovers the secret of creating life from the remains of the dead.
Overview
But elation at his triumph is replaced by horror when he realises the full extent of his monstrous creation. Abandoned by the one who made him, Frankenstein’s Creature is left alone in a world that fears and rejects him, and soon his innocence turns to misery. Increasingly desperate and vengeful, he determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying bargain.
Five-time Offie-Nominated Arrows & Traps bring to life a remarkable brand-new adaptation of this thrilling and haunting gothic tale about the dangers of scientific irresponsibility and parental neglect, in celebration of the 200 year anniversary since Mary Shelley wrote the original manuscript.
Critic reviews
Ambitious, inventive, alive. Gothic horror at its best.
A freshness and depth rarely seen in adaptations of this classic… beautifully staged and sensitively performed.
