“We Shall Be Monsters”
a new adaptation of Mary Shelly’s iconic gothic novel, staged within the remarkable setting of
st giles the abbot
"How dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge"
Victor Frankenstein has achieved the impossible, but recoils from the being he has brought into the world. Abandoned by his creator, the Creature is left to search for meaning and a place among humankind.
Staged within the extraordinary architecture of St Giles the Abbot, Lucid Spark Theatre's new adaptation places Mary Shelley's story beneath the gaze of God. Ideas of creation and faith will run through a production that asks what it means to assume the power of a creator and what a creator owes to the life he makes. Frightening, moving and darkly funny, Frankenstein is a story with no easy division between good and evil and man and monster. Lucid Spark's largest production to date brings together a company of professional actors for a visually stunning and emotionally charged retelling of Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece. A thrilling night of theatre, and one that is certain to continue the conversation long after the lights go out.
