Chiling Drama Comes to The Crucible DR. FRANKENSTEIN

Adapted from the world famous novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Northern Stage and Greyscale bring Dr Frankenstein to the Crucible stage from Wednesday 15 - Saturday 25 March. This chilling drama tells a truly great story of power and powerlessness, of fear and revenge; of creative possibility and terrible destructive power.

Victoria Frankenstein is a brilliant, visionary young woman born into a world not ready for her. The industrial revolution is dawning and the British Empire circles the globe. It's an age of enlightenment, a time when old orders begin to crumble and everything seems possible. Provided of course, that you are an English-man.

Victoria Frankenstein is a brilliant, visionary young woman born into a world not ready for her. The industrial revolution is dawning and the British Empire circles the globe. It's an age of enlightenment, a time when old orders begin to crumble and everything seems possible. Women are not allowed to study medicine in England, so Victoria travels to Ingolstadt, Bavaria to fulfil her destiny and become Dr Frankenstein. Convinced that there is no magic, no god, only undiscovered science, Victoria's experiments lead her to the very brink of human knowledge: the secret of life itself.

In the dark of night, a creature is given life. There is violence, there is anger, there is fear. There will be consequences and Dr Frankenstein learns that you are forever responsible for what you create.
