When Captain Robert Walton rescues Victoria Frankenstein from an Arctic ice floe, he learns the harrowing story of how she came to be there. Driven by a passion for science in a society that forbids female pursuit of it, Victoria adopts the male identity of Victor to gain university admission. Her deception is eventually uncovered, leading to her expulsion, but not before she forms a fateful bond with a tutor whose unorthodox scientific methods ignite a dark and irreversible path.

Praise for previous productions:
-
The Hound Of the Baskervilles:
- “The British Touring Shakespeare team have captured the intrigue and the mystery you would expect from a Sherlock Holmes story and made for a most entertaining evening – the game is very much afoot!” – Everything Theatre
- “This is a cracking production of a great story, adapted with care and performed with fun and flair.” – Theatre Plays UK
-
The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde:
- “The transformations between the two sides of the eponymous character were truly impressive.” – East Anglia Bylines
- “Paul Winterford’s central performance is pretty riveting. He gives us a deliberately understated Jekyll, tossing a coin and ruminating. The first transformation scene, when it comes – all stage smoke and coloured lighting – meets all gothically dramatic expectations. Winterford writhes, yells, goes into paroxysm and exudes amoral malice and terror.” – London Pub Theatres
Romeo and Juliet, performed by Sudden Impulse at Soulton Hall
