A multimedia exploration of Frankenstein is coming to The Lowry in Salford next month.
The first rehearsal images have been released today ahead of the production coming to The Lowry from March 12-14.
The two-hander will feature Georgia-Mae Myers (Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre; Wars of the Roses & Henry VI – Rebellion, Royal Shakespeare Company; and Dismissed, Soho Theatre) and Nedum Okonyia (Possession, Arcola Theatre).
The production is created by Co-Artistic Directors Pete Brooks, Andrew Quick and Simon Wainwright.
This multimedia exploration of Mary Shelley’s classic novel has been described as a psychological thriller “which dares to ask the question – what is it to be human?”
The theatre company, imitating the dog, aim to re-create a version of Frankenstein that “erupts into life” as everyday objects are transformed into glaciers, a ship at sea, a dissecting room, and a house on fire.
imitating the dog and Leeds Playhouse previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed unique shot-for-shot stage recreation of George A. Romero’s classic 1968 zombie movie Night of The Living Dead™ – Remix and the UK Theatre Award-winning Dracula: The Untold Story.
Set and Costume Designer Hayley Grindle has created a dynamic, transformative space, which houses the digital tricks and video-mapping techniques associated with imitating the dog.
Frankenstein will premiere at Leeds Playhouse from 15-24 February before touring; it arrives at The Lowry, Salford from12-14 March.
