About Cruel Britannia: After Frankenstein by Kristen Smyth
Maggie Thatcher's Britain: a monstrous, chaos-ridden world of gothic proportions that Shelley would be proud of. A hauntingly beautiful and visceral experience where echoes of the past reverberate with relevance and the streets resound with the cries of the dispossessed.
Directed by Blank Space Productions' Cohan, critically acclaimed writer/performer Kristen Smyth breathes life into this evocative new production which questions how we determine who we'll call monsters and who we won't.
Venue: theSpace on the Mile, 80 High St, Edinburgh EH1 1TH
