A radical new retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein comes to the London stage this week — and very reasonably
priced tickets might still be had if you are in the vicinity.
Running August 25 to 29, Frankenstein’s Creature is a one-man play written and performed by James
Swanton who has garnered consistently high praise for his work, notably his
recent West End success in Sykes and Nancy. Mr. Swanton is no stranger to extraordinary characters of genre
fiction having played the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Marley’s Ghost.
Frankenstein’s Creature promises
to be an intense experience as the story is told entirely from The Creature’s
perspective. “With no name and no past,” reads the press release, “he must forge a place in a world
that does not want him. He must find his voice.”
The image of Swanton as The Creature shows him biting into
an apple, the new Adam cast out of paradise.
Frankenstein’s Creature
is directed by Jack Gamble with designs by Zoe Koperski. It is produced by Jack
Gamble and Quentin Beroud for Dippermouth and mounted at Theater503 on Battersea
Park Road, London.
We’ll be on the lookout for reviews and future productions.
