T1317215498 (BUXTON11)A story told, a life ignited, the legend created... A nightmare begins. 1816, the year without a summer, a volcanic ash cloud fills the European skies and during a lost weekend on the dark shores of Lake Geneva stories of fear and horror are told by candlelight. One of the stories born that dark weekend was Frankenstein. Following Proteus re-imagining of Bram Stoker s Dracula for the stage, comes their version of Mary Shelley s classic gothic tale of the ultimate act of creation spiralling out of control. This version blends the novel with the story of the book s creation during the infamous weekend shared by Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron. Created in Proteus unique style, fusing physical performance, circus, film and music, this is a Frankenstein that holds the mirror up to our modern anxieties concerning human genetics, cloning and the revenge of nature. Age 12+Company Proteus Theatre. Adapted by Mary Swan. Director Mary Swan. Design Sam Pine. Music Paul Wild. Performer Lee Garrett. Performer Mary Rose (Mary Shelley). Performer Elizabeth Lavenza. Performer Paul Huntley-Thomas (Lord Byron/The Monster). Performer Steven Jaan Pilman (John Polidori/Henry Clerval). | |
