FRANKENSTEIN
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.
All performances are in English. Tickets on sale now!

REHEARSED READINGS
What is a Rehearsed Reading?
Rehearsed Readings are a unique way to experience a theatrical piece for a reduced price in a relaxed, cabaret-style setting. Unlike our full-scale productions, these readings feature minimal set, lighting, props, costumes, and sound effects. Actors perform with a script in hand and have typically rehearsed just a few times.
It's a chance for our community to explore a play in its early stages. These readings are sometimes later transferred to a larger venue for a full production, but that is not always the case.
Event Details
Our venues typically have space for 40-50 people, so tickets sell out quickly! All venues offer a small selection of drinks, and some also offer small snacks. Your seat might be at a small table.
-
General Admission: All rehearsed readings are 'general admission,' which means seats cannot be selected at the time of booking and are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
-
Start Time: Rehearsed readings typically start slightly earlier than our full-scale productions, so check the specific details for the show to make sure you're on time! Doors usually open 30 minutes before the start time.
-
Tickets: Our venues vary. Please check the information above for ticket details, locations, and availability.
