FRANKENSTEIN
By Paul Stebbings and Phil Smith
Inspired by the novel by Mary Shelley and the Hollywood movies.
FRANKENSTEIN is one of the most potent modern myths. The company’s new production will explore that myth through a Gothic comedy that mixes popular entertainment with a serious exploration of the darker themes within the myth The Monster disturbs us in a way that Dracula merely frightens. Frankenstein’s monster is clearly a prototype of a very real terror: the fear of a new more powerful life form created by our own hands.

International Acclaim
“This Frankenstein is not just extraordinary theatre, it explores issues of deep importance and true profundity through humour and horror.”
Minden Tagblatt Germany
“A powerful and indeed pressing drama. Hubris is the theme, this is the story of the new Prometheus, we today challenge the gods with our immoral science. ….Finally the Monsters are men and the men are monsters. A profound but highly entertaining production.”
Sudkurier Germany
“A packed theatre roared with laughter and shook with horror…a special evening of theatre.”
Bündner Tagblatt Switzerland
“TNT – touring theatre at its best”.
South China Morning Post
“Highly effective and charismatic theatre”
