The story of a man who played with life and created a monster, or rather, created a creature whose lack of a sense of belonging made him feel and act life a monster. But who was the monster? The creator or the created?
Book by Mary Shelley

Production details

In this hideously unhinged reworking of Mary Shelley's literary monsterpiece, the doors are closed on the outside world and matters of life and death come under the microscope. But what's going on in there? Amidst the bottled faces and the wriggling limbs? And what's just slithered out of the Petri dish and into the audience. This classic Gothic tale is brought to life of stage and screen, propelling creator against creature in an hilarious, horror-filled adventure that brings Forkbeard Fantasy's renowned mix of eye-goggling cine-magic, cartoon animation and wild mechanical sets.
