When explorer Captain Robert Walton rescues Victoria Frankenstein from an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean, he hears the shocking events that have brought her there. As a woman with a passion for science in an age that forbids her to pursue it, she is forced to adopt the male persona of Victor to attend university. The ruse is soon discovered leading to her expulsion, but not before she has befriended a tutor whose interest in unorthodox scientific methods has set her on a dark path from which there will be no return.

​

The team behind recent acclaimed productions of The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, The Hound Of The Baskervilles and Dracula bring Mary Shelley’s gothic horror classic to The Bridge House Theatre stage, telling the stories of Victoria and the creature she gives life to in a brand new adaptation that will both thrill modern audiences and delight fans of the novel.

​

This show contains themes of horror that some younger children may find scary. Parental discretion is advised for children under 12.

​“This bold new production breathes new life into Mary Shelley’s gothic classic” – Elisha Pearce, Voice Magazine

“Andrew Hobbs directs with a keen eye on the storytelling and the dramatic sequences are handled really well – engaging the audience and providing tension throughout. The adaptation works really well and it is performed at full tilt in beautiful surroundings; what’s not to like?” – Cormac Richards, Theatre Plays
