About

FRANKENSTEIN
From the original book Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley.
Adapted By Noël Jones & Douglas Revolta
Original Music by Will Pickering

"I am on the brink of a discovery so great, so shocking that the very course of humanity may be altered by it – the moment that I, Victor Frankenstein, create life and destroy death forever."

Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece is brought to life in a haunting new adaptation that explores the blurred lines between creator and creation, humanity and monstrosity and challenges the audience to question: who is the real monster?

Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist, becomes obsessed with creating life. Driven by ambition, he assembles a creature from body parts and brings it to life, only to be horrified by its monstrous appearance. Rejected by society and its creator, the creature seeks revenge, leading to a heartbreaking series of devastating events.

Discarded Nut Theatre Co. is a vibrant creative company for emerging actors, writers, musicians, performers and makers, offering a springboard to collaborate and grow alongside industry professionals. This groundbreaking company is dedicated to producing dynamic, high-quality theatre with captivating performances that leave a lasting impression.
