“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”
In an age where Artificial Intelligence is growing more and more powerful, 200 years on Mary Shelley's gothic thriller about a being created without thought for its future, still has the power to shock and provoke.
This brand new play is adapted and directed by GSC regular collaborator Caroline Devlin (Jekyll & Hyde, King Arthur, King Lear):
"In approaching the adaptation, I was struck (and horrified) by how absolutely Mary Shelley’s vision has been realised by 2025. There is little to change, adapt or even censor. How an 18 year old could understand and interpret the fears of a generation: industrialisation, ecological disaster, the elite abusing power, humanity careering down a dark and irreversible path to destruction, is truly mesmerising.
"I’ve striven to keep absolutely to her story. The only difference being, what was, 200 years ago a fantastical, gothic imagining, is for us now, a fearful reality, the consequences alarmingly real. My driver in this adaptation has been to honour Mary’s story, letting her step into our time and say, “I told you so….”."
Staged within the Victorian splendour of St Nicolas' Church, this new adaptation blends Mary Shelley's terrifying original text with a 21st century understanding of Artificial Intelligence and its endless possibilities.
