DRAMA
by Nick Dear from the novel by Mary Shelley
Directed by Jeff Luttermoser
“Slowly I learnt the ways of humans: how to ruin, how to hate, how to debase, how to humiliate. And at the feet of my master I learnt the highest of human skills, the skill no other creature owns: I finally learnt how to lie.”
About The Show:
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.
Age rating: 12+. Subject matter includes scene depicting sexual violence.
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.
By having actors David Ramón Zayas and Tom Weaver share these roles, we can emphasize how Victor Frankenstein and The Creature mirror one another’s ambitions and vulnerabilities. The role-switching allows the actors to experience the dual perspectives of creator and creation, offering audiences two interpretations of the relationship at the heart of the story.
