The monster is only half the story. 

The second part of a double-bill (with Jekyll & Hyde) of productions by Leeds Conservatoire students. In Rona Munro’s inventive feminist adaptation, the 18-year-old Mary Shelley is centre stage, wrestling with her own dark imagination and the monstrous creation it has spawned.

As she confronts the raw, brutal challenges facing young women – both in her era and our own – this fast, physical and dynamic production brings the haunting tale to life. It is a gripping reimagining that explores the terrifying questions of power, control, and identity at the heart of this iconic story.
