“It’s Alive. It’s Alive!”
Freeroam Theatre presents Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a production that blends two narratives together; the ambitious scientist Victor Frankenstein and ingenious author Mary Shelley, as obsession takes hold of the pair. While Frankenstein works relentlessly and eventually succeeds in his quest to play God, Shelly struggles with the weight of writing the ultimate horror story, one that the world has never seen before. Will ambition be their salvation? Or will their creations rise to destroy all they know?
Rona Munro’s adaptation of the classic novel explores the literary struggles of a young woman discovering her own reflection through the monsters she has created. Combine this with Freeroam’s exciting style of embracing modern technologies and perspectives (much like the original text!), and with a dash of gothic horror; you will bare witness to theatre that will electrify, terrify, and astound.
“Are you sitting comfortably? Good. We’ll fix that. Now it begins!”
