Abandoned by his creator and left to navigate a hostile world, Frankenstein's bewildered creature faces a harsh, new life of cruelty and isolation. In trying to understand humanity, he gains knowledge and compassion, but he also learns fear and anger. The Creature grows desperate and vengeful, leading him to hunt his maker and forge a terrifying bargain. Timeless themes of scientific responsibility, the nature of humanity, and the essence of good and evil are explored in this gripping and profoundly unsettling gothic tale.

PLEASE NOTE: The actors playing Victor Frankenstein and The Creature will switch roles every other night. This choice, inspired by the original 2011 National Theatre production, is intended to explore the themes of identity, duality, and transformation. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein deals heavily with the blurred lines between creator and creation.
