Details
Rescued near the North Pole, a dying Victor Frankenstein tells a British explorer Captain Robert Walton, an incredible tale of his cursed life. The eldest son of a wealthy Swiss family, Frankenstein is sent to University in Ingolstadt, where his brilliance and thirst for knowledge are soon clear to all. He develops an obsessive quest to create life and bestow it on an inanimate being, which he has constructed from the corpses of many experiments; something which horrifies even himself. When he succeeds in animating his creature, he is appalled by what he's done and hides from him; the creature disappears, only gradually does it become apparent that in creating this being, then rejecting him, Frankenstein has brought about the doom of all those who are dear to him. WorkSpace Productions proudly present Frankenstein, a modern interpretation of Mary Shelley's classic novel. Newly adapted for stage by Adam Hemming, Artistic Director at the Space, this modern day retelling sets out to explore the fantasies, desires and dangers we all live out in creating 'life' - within ourselves, our environments, our friends, enemies, the media and beyond - partaking in acts of fiction, falsehoods and the makings of our own modern day monsters. Set inside the Big Brother house, expect to meet Victor, in all his forms, and relish in his ascent and downfall from inside this claustrophobic 21st Century science lab
