SYNOPSIS

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 increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. This powerful adaptation, which premiered at the National Theatre in London under the direction of Danny Boyle, promises a haunting exploration of creation, responsibility, and what it truly means to be human.
