Frankenstein

By Victor Gialanella, adapted from the novel by Mary Shelley

Playing dates – October 31st - 7th November 2021

Director: Steve Brown

This classic tale of horror and suspense details the ill-fated experiments of Dr. Frankenstein as he attempts to fathom the secrets of life and death. Purchasing cadavers from unsavoury grave robbers, he gives life to a creature which is both powerful and terrifying, yet touchingly innocent... but there is a high price to be paid for attempting to play God.
