Moth Sanctuary Productions created & performed ‘Frankenstein: New Skin’ – a gender-swapped version of Mary Shelley’s classic, told through spoken word, music & dance – for Cheltenham Literature Festival Lit Crawl 2018.
To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Frankenstein’s publication, we gender-swapped the central roles to re-examine the themes of the original work & create new meaning when told from the point of view of a woman.
The production was written, scored & directed by Andrew Bate, starring a hugely talented cast.
Molly Rose Dumbell as The Creation
Catherine Frowd as Victoria Frankenstein
Nathan Marshall as Erik
Andrew Bate as The Companion
Listen to ‘Playing God’ & ‘Baby Steps’ from the original score, composed by Andrew Bate.
We performed ‘Frankenstein: New Skin’ in the atmospheric Chapel Arts Cheltenham. Thanks to Mikal Ludlow Photography for capturing these stunning images.
