Nick Dear’s Frankenstein is a visceral, haunting retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic, told through the eyes of the Creature himself. Born in a burst of lightning and abandoned in horror by his creator, Victor.

Frankenstein, the Creature staggers into a world that meets his innocence with cruelty, fear, and violence.

Left to fend for himself, he slowly learns to walk, speak, and think, ultimately finding brief kindness with a blind scholar who teaches him language, music, and the meaning of love.

When that fragile hope is shattered by prejudice, the Creature turns on the man who made him, vowing to force Victor to take responsibility for what he has brought to life.

As Victor and his creation are drawn into a relentless chase from civilized drawing rooms to frozen wastelands, the play becomes an intense confrontation between parent and child, maker and made.

Dear’s adaptation dives deep into themes of scientific ambition, moral accountability, and what happens when a being capable of love is taught only hatred, leaving audiences to ask: who is the real monster

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge – not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
