“It’s Alive!!!”
“Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!” - Henry Frankenstein
Join us at the Tyneside this spooky season as we revive cinema’s most infamous monster in a (re)constructed collection of tales both new and old as we gear up for Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein.
Soon to celebrate a centennial since James Whale’s classic hit the big screen in 1931, we invite you to explore a legacy which extends far beyond than the classic creature feature with a variety of adaptations and influences to reinforce the notoriety of the character and the history created to make the monster as iconic now as the day he first hit the big screen.
With Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride coming early next year, stay tuned for more Franken-tales of the macabre. Wanna clue? “Wanna Date?”
