AUB Theatre Productions presents: Frankenstein: The Making of a Monster

AUB Theatre Productions stages Helen Watts's drama telling how Mary Shelley came to write Frankenstein beside Lake Geneva in 1816.

This production by Helen Watts, Artistic Director of Dorset Corset Theatre, dramatises the origins of Mary Shelley's gothic horror classic, featuring the real figures around its conception — Lord Byron, Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley — near Lake Geneva in 1816, with the novel's main characters also appearing as the story unfolds. Performances take place at the Palace Court Theatre, including a schools performance on 13 November at 13:00 (ages 14+) and two performances on 14 November. The production contains depictions of violence and challenging themes including body horror, death and psychological trauma.
