Tilted Wig presents

Frankenstein

A new story inspired by the classic novel by Mary Shelley. Written and directed by Séan Aydon.

  • Show Information

1943. Whilst Europe tears itself apart, two women hide from their past at what feels like the very end of the world. And one of them has a terrifying story to tell…

“I created life. You don’t believe me but it’s true. I didn’t start from scratch of course but out of portions and odd ends I made something – alive. But what I created… it wasn’t a superhuman. It was a monster.”

This new thriller inspired by the classic gothic novel and complete with a stunning original score explores the very fabric of what makes us human and the ultimate cost of chasing “perfection”.

Frankenstein is an electrifying reimagining of the world’s favourite horror story that will set minds and spines tingling.

Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete's Dick Whittington artwork. Background: a foggy panorama photo of the city of London, with iconic buildings such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and St Paul's Cathedral. The cityscape is washed over with a burgundy haze. Foreground: A black and white cat (black body, white neck collar, white paws) looks towards the cityscape and we see them in near silhouette. They are stood on a yellow-brick path, with green grassy hills either side of them. On the hills, grey rats with large red eyes. On the left hand side of the cat, a rat holds a stereotypical hobo sack on a stick. At the top of the artwork, gold text reads: 'Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete present Dick Whittington.' Another group of rats with large red eyes are playing around the letters in 'Dick Whittington'. A cat paw icon replaces the dot on top of the letter 'I' in 'Dick', and a block of cheese replaces the dot on top of the second letter 'I' in 'Whittington.

___________________________________________________

Nick Dear’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein retells the well-known story from the point of view of the Creature, created by Victor Frankenstein, a troubled scientist. His dark ambitions drive him to play with life itself and he succeeds in bringing the Creature to life. Childlike in their innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s creature is thrust into a hostile universe by their horror-struck maker. Met with cruelty wherever they go, the increasingly desperate Creature is determined to track down their creator and strike a terrifying deal…
