“I am on the brink of a discovery so great, so shocking that the very course of humanity may be altered by it – the moment that I, Victor Frankenstein, create life and destroy death forever.”
Mary Shelley’s gothic masterpiece is brought to life in a haunting new adaptation that explores the blurred lines between creator and creation, humanity and monstrosity and challenges the audience to question: who is the real monster?
Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist, becomes obsessed with creating life. Driven by ambition, he assembles a creature from body parts and brings it to life, only to be horrified by its monstrous appearance. Rejected by society and its creator, the creature seeks revenge, leading to a heartbreaking series of devastating events.
