British Touring Shakespeare Company present
FRANKENSTEIN
The great British weather keeps us guessing, but at the moment it looks fine for the time of the performance. However come prepared for any eventuality!
The space is an old bowling green without cover. The surface is grass and whilst well drained, is likely to be damp after the weather we have had recently. Please bring your own picnic chair/rug for the performance. If you wish you can bring your own food and drink - we are unable to provide a bar for this event.
We look forward to welcoming you at the performance which starts at 4.00pm.
There are some tickets on the door if you have any friends or family that want to come at the last minute.
Saturday 13th Sept, Outdoor theatre performance of
Frankenstein
Based on the novel by Mary Shelley
When explorer Captain Robert Walton discovers Victoria Frankenstein stranded on an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean, he learns the incredible story of how she came to be there. In a time when women were not allowed to study science, Victoria had to pretend to be a man named Victor in order to attend university. Her secret is eventually uncovered, and she is asked to leave. But before that happens, she becomes close to a teacher who shares unusual ideas about science — ideas that lead Victoria down a dangerous path, one that will change her life forever.
The team behind recent acclaimed open air tours of The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, The Hound Of The Baskervilles and Dracula bring Mary Shelley’s gothic horror classic to life, telling the stories of Victoria and the creature she gives life to in a brand new adaptation that will both thrill modern audiences and delight fans of the novel.
