AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A startling, unsettling and hugely theatrical adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless classic, produced by award-winning playwright Christine Davey, Skin of our Teeth Productions and La Mama Theatre.

'A funny, thoughtful, horrific and remarkable story of love, power, friendship, betrayal and every emotion in between.

'Frankenstein is a larger-than-life (and death) production celebrating and unleashing the monster in all of us. A visceral piece of theatre that grabs at your heart and soul and never lets go.

'The future is female and here she comes, ready or not.' (Publication summary)
