Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
A Lyric Drama Studio Production
“No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks” - Mary Wollstonecraft
Step into the mind of the visionary eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley as she conceives a tale that will resonate for centuries.
Victor Frankenstein, a young and gifted scientist, toils secretly night and day in a desperate quest to create life. When Frankenstein ultimately achieves his ambition, he is disgusted by what he has made and abandons his creation, yet the being refuses to be forgotten. Misunderstood, lonely, and searching desperately for identity, the creature’s story is one not only of terror, but also of isolation and yearning.
Rona Munro’s gripping adaptation places Mary Shelley at the heart of the tale, exploring the power of imagination, the responsibilities of creation, and the tragedy of being alienated and unloved. Discover a timeless story where the real horror isn’t in the monster — it’s in neglecting the consequences of our ambitions.
