Written during the industrial revolution, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein is an allegory of the dangers of science, of upsetting the natural order, and of the dangerous possibilities of technology and ambition.

 

This Frankenstein is an experiment gone wrong. Starting from scratch every night, a troupe of theatre makers build the story of the building of a monster. Pieced together from found objects, odds, ends, scraps of text and songs, things start to get out of control as the monster gradually takes over the Wharf 2 theatre.

 

Award-winning designer Ralph Myers, in his directorial debut, grapples with the creation of horror and the horror of creation.

"...the team behind the final Wharf 2 show for 2008 have breathed fresh life into the classic. First-time director and renowned theatre designer Ralph Myers has paired up with quirky playwright Lally Katz to create an interpretation of Shelley's story that is as funny and deliciously absurd as it is touching... a fresh, funny and touching meditation on the nature of relationships."
