Book tickets for Frankenstein, a bold new 21st-century adaptation of Mary Shelley’s visionary novel, at Rose Theatre, Kingston.

Frankenstein in Kingston upon Thames

Rose Theatre and Leeds Playhouse present Frankenstein, written and directed by acclaimed writer and director Jeff James (Persuasion, Shooting Hedda Gabler).

Ever since its publication over two centuries ago, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has captivated readers. As science advances, it is a story that becomes ever more relevant — a warning from the past about the perils of the future. A scientist creates life in the laboratory and unleashes forces he cannot control. Nothing will ever be the same. It’s the future. It’s the past. It’s right now.

This bold new adaptation brings Shelley’s visionary novel into the 21st century, challenging us to consider whether we now live in the future that Mary Shelley foresaw, or whether those horrors are still yet to come.
