Gritty, powerful, and daringly revolutionary, “Cruel Britannia: After Frankenstein” is a transgender reimagining of Shelley’s seminal novel, set in the year of our Lord 1980: Maggie Thatcher’s Britain: a monstrous, chaos-ridden world of gothic proportions that Shelley would be proud of. A hauntingly beautiful and visceral experience where echoes of the past reverberate with relevance and the streets resound with the cries of the dispossessed. 

 

Critically acclaimed writer/performer Kristen Smyth breathes life into this evocative new production which questions the ways in which we determine who we’ll call monsters and who we won’t.
