Frankenstein Cabaret: It’s Alive!
- Sat 23 Aug 21:00 - 22:30
- Spiegeltent
Attend in person
Frankenstein is having its biggest year since 1818, with a reissue with a new introduction by Jenni Fagan, and two Hollywood films reawakening Shelley’s gothic classic and its deeply Scottish roots. Tonight, Fagan has stitched together a very-much-alive line-up of writers, musicians, and artists to celebrate, pull apart, and reanimate the ideas, invention, and sheer gothicness of the indelible tale that spawned a thousand other creations.
Featuring fabulous host and MC Mystika Glamoor; readings from Jenni Fagan, Ever Dundas & David Bishop, Janette Ayachi, Harry Josephine Giles, and Kirstin Innes; and a special performance from the cast of Stellar Quines’ Frankie Stein.
