“It is easy, describe what haunts you. Frankenstein, you have thought of a story. Mary Shelley, you have seized the spark of life. Now write this.”

1816, Switzerland. Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and Claire Clairmont vacation together. A challenge is made: who can write the best horror story? As past and present intertwine, friendships fade and die, and a mysterious voice haunts the room, Mary Shelley reflects on the circumstances that led to her greatest work – Frankenstein.

Amateur production of Blood and Ice by Liz Lochhead by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
