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. 

 

Directed by Blank Space Productions' Cohan, 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.
