Frankenstein posted on 1 October 2011

Following Proteus' re-imagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula for the stage, comes their version of Mary Shelley's classic gothic tale of the ultimate act of creation spiralling out of control.

This version blends the novel with the story of the book's creation during the infamous weekend shared by Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley and Lord Bryon.

Created in Proteus' unique style, fusing physical performance, circus, film and music, this is a Frankenstein that holds the mirror up to our modern anxieties concerning human genetics, cloning and the revenge of nature.

Suitable for 12+
