T149751716Brilliant young student Viktor Frankenstein discovers how to endow dead organic matter with life itself. It is one thing to stitch together an anatomically complete organism, but quite another when it becomes a living, breathing creature that shows intelligence, feels torment ? and demands answers of its creator. Mary Shelley's seminal novel was published in 1818 when she was just 21 years old, and has never been out of print. This gripping tale is now a brand-new musical production featuring a fully orchestrated musical score, a cast of professional actor singers, spectacular stage effects, puppetry - and flashes of the wickedly dark humour for which Illyria is justly celebrated.Company Illyria. | |

T01995720084Frankenstein is a full-length gothic horror musical, loosely adapted from the famous novel of the same name by Mary Shelley. The musical, set in the early part of the 19th century, reflects the high passions, ideals and fevered imagination of that glorious romantic age. The musical tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young, brilliant and driven scientist, who is obsessed with the desire to create human life out of dead matter - to bring the perfect human being into a world that is corrupt and far from perfect. Frankenstein assembles a Creature from body parts and brings the Creature alive. But the Creature is more than a collection of body parts and demands that his creator shows him love. Unable to do so, Frankenstein rejects the Creature and so begins a terrible story of betrayal and revenge. One by one the creature murders all those who are closest to Frankenstein. When confronted he begs his creator to make him a mate, a female counterpart who will understand him and give him the love he so desperately seeks, promising that if he does this thing the Creature will leave him alone forever. When Frankenstein destroys the female he has made then the Creature seeks the ultimate retribution and murders Elizabeth, Victor's bride, on their wedding night. The last scene of the musical sees Frankenstein pursuing the Creature across the frozen icy wastes of the Arctic towards a final encounter and a shattering moment of truth.Corporate Sponsor NASUWT (teachers union).
