"Child. I am your child."
These words haunt Victor Frankenstein as his creation demands the love and recognition every living soul deserves. Retold from the unique perspective of the Creature, Nick Dear’s haunting adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic strips away the cinematic tropes to find the raw, beating heart of her original masterpiece. This production explores the very essence of what it means to be human in a world that often lacks humanity.
The story begins not with the scientist, but with the spark of life itself. We witness the Creature’s first moments as he is abandoned by his creator and cast out into a world of total sensory confusion. He must learn to walk, to speak, and to understand the complexities of a society that fears his appearance while ignoring his intellect.
As he evolves from a blank slate into a sophisticated and articulate being, his desperation for connection turns into a calculated and tragic quest for vengeance. He is a child in a man's body, discarded by his "father" and left to find his own morality in a landscape of rejection.
From the laboratory in Ingolstadt to the frozen wastes of the Arctic, this is an epic tale of responsibility and the consequences of playing God. Join us for a visceral, physical, and deeply moving production. We invite you to witness this classic story through new eyes and decide for yourself: Who is the true monster?
Please note that his adaptation includes scenes of violence and adult content.
It is recommended for audiences aged 15 and over.
Fourways Theatre Company’s licence to present Nick Dear’s version of FRANKENSTEIN from the novel by Mary Shelley is granted by Rosica Colin Limited, London.

When faith won’t pay the bills, fraud starts to look surprisingly holy.....
A brilliantly irreverent dark comedy that proves human nature has changed very little over the centuries.
The year is 1250. Europe is gripped by famine, pilgrimages have all but dried up, and a struggling monastery in rural France is facing disaster. With donations dwindling and survival at stake, the monks need a miracle. When one resourceful brother discovers that holy relics can attract the crowds and the cash, an outrageous scheme is born.
18th, 19th & 20th February 7:30pm
Matinee 20th February 2:00pm
What follows is a fast-paced comedy of deception, ambition and unintended consequences. As the monastery's fortunes rise, so do the complications. Rivalries emerge, loyalties are tested, and questions of faith, honesty and greed become delightfully tangled. Along the way, an eccentric collection of monks, peasants, nobles and opportunists discover just how far people will go when survival is on the line.
Filled with razor-sharp dialogue, unexpected twists and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, Incorruptible blends medieval intrigue with distinctly modern humour. Michael Hollinger's acclaimed play takes a mischievous look at organised religion, human weakness and the value people place on belief, while never losing its warmth or humanity.
Join Fourways Theatre Company for an evening of wonderfully dark, intelligent comedy that turns the Dark Ages into a very bright night at the theatre.
