Two master performers, Ben Haggarty and Sianed Jones, present their steam punk, interpretation of the well-known literary classic - Frankenstein. This powerful and startling performance combines spoken narrative, music and song to draw audiences into the world of Dr Frankenstein and the monster he created. Truly a story for our time, Frankenstein speaks of power unleashed and our fear of the unknown.

Internationally renowned for his playful and dynamic performances, Ben Haggarty tells his stories with infectious charm and deceptive ease. Composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer, Sianed Jones, has been variously described as having a voice like that of a 'wailing Welsh banshee', a 'soft seducer', and a 'passionate revolutionary'.

Mary Shelley says that the story came to her in a dream following an evening of folk-tale telling. In returning the story to the spoken word the audience is invited to participate in a vivid cinema of the imagination. This powerful performance is a creative response to her work of art.
