Robin & Jane In The Stalls Episode 71 - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Robin & Jane are back In The Stalls — and this week they’ve been at Belfast’s Lyric Theatre to catch Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (Lyric Drama Studio Production, running until 2nd May). Step inside the mind of the visionary eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley as she conjures a story that has captivated audiences for generations. This powerful adaptation by Rona Munro puts Mary at the very centre of the narrative, exploring imagination, responsibility, and the human cost of creation. Victor Frankenstein’s obsessive quest to create life leads to devastating consequences when he abandons his creation — a being left to navigate a world of rejection, loneliness, and longing. This isn’t just a tale of horror… it’s a deeply human story about identity, isolation, and what it means to be seen. So, what did Robin & Jane think of this bold new take on a classic? 👀 Was it electrifying or underwhelming? 💭 Did the adaptation bring something new to the legend? 🎧 And is it worth grabbing a ticket before it closes?
