Birth of Frankenstein fuses Mary Shelley's groundbreaking gothic novel with the dramatic personal circumstances that inspired her to write it.

Within the walls of a 19th century church in downtown Toronto, Mary Shelley has been woken. And here she is – to tell the story about how she came to write, and be consumed by, one of the most famous novels of all time. Featuring Romantic poet Percy Shelley, rebellious iconoclast Lord Byron, early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and more, Birth of Frankenstein takes you through the looking glass and into the Waking Dreams of an 18-year old girl with big ideas and more than her share of love, loss and scandal. This fall, slip into an immersive world with the acclaimed indie company that brought you Matchbox Macbeth – a world where graves are robbed, men are made immortal, and all laws of nature are broken. Capacity of 40 – book your tickets early.
