Josephine Hart presents Romantic Poetry

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was adapted for the stage in 2011 by Nick Dear and realised by Danny Boyle in his return to the theatre.  Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternate in the roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature.
