Mary Shelley by Helen Edmundson

A biographical play about Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. Premiered by Shared Experience.

'Full of literary intelligence, feminist fire and feminine understanding'

* York Press *

'Passionate, and at times tragic.. it's testament to the quality of the script and the performances that it flies by'

* Yorkshire Post *

'Gripping... Without ever reducing Mary Shelley to an issue drama, Edmundson suggests the destructive nature of a life lived without compromise'

* The Times *

'This is a powerfully told story that will no doubt enjoy a successful run in Leeds, and beyond'

* Whatsonstage.com *

'This is a great introduction to two pivotal years of Mary Shelley's life, after which she published the acclaimed Frankenstein, and inspires the spectator to look beyond the stories into the writer's existence'

* www.thepublicreviews.com *
