FRANKENSTEIN

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was adapted for the stage by Nick Dear.

Audition dates/times: 2nd & 3rd February 2026, 7pm at Lancaster Grand Theatre

Synopsis -

Frankenstein’s bewildered Creature is cast out into a hostile world by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty and intolerance wherever he goes, and increasingly desperate and vengeful, he tracks down his maker in order to strike a terrifying deal.

Embedded deep within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale are urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, prejudice, and the nature of good and evil.
