Time Out
Shared Experience brings to life the astonishing tale of Mary Shelley – and how she came to write one of the greatest stories ever told, aged just 19.
This astonishing new play explores Shelley’s remarkable life: her controversial philosopher father, her scandalous elopement aged 16 and how she wrote a novel, so radical in its ideology, that in 1817 she changed the literary landscape forever.
Shared Experience is renowned for bringing classics to the stage in bold, imaginative ways. For Mary Shelley they reunite with award-winning writer Helen Edmundson whose ground-breaking adaptations (Mill on the Floss, Coram Boy, Swallows and Amazons) have inspired generations of theatre makers.
A co-production between Nottingham Playhouse, West Yorkshire Playhouse and Shared Experience.
Directed by Polly Teale, Artistic Director of Shared Experience. Celebrated for her potent visual and imaginative style, Polly won the Evening Standard Award for Best Director for her own play After Mrs Rochester, which also won the Time Out Award for Best West End Production.
