AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A revered filmmaker is doing the festival circuit for her latest cinematic adaptation of a literary classic; Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. But a young critic accuses her of the inspiration landing too close to home. There must be a traumatic backstory to explain why she would want to tell such dark stories. Meanwhile, rumors about the treatment of the actors on set reveals tension between the film’s two leading ladies; a faded 90s horror scream queen and the Gen-Z it girl of psychological thrillers.

'Artistic Director Lucy Clements (Winner Best Director Sydney Theatre Awards) directs Emily Sheehan’s (Winner Rodney Seaborn Award) new gothic thriller, that traces the evolution of gothic literature to 90s trashy horror, and asks whether you can ever truly separate a work of fiction from its author.'  (Production summary)
