Bride of Wankenstein

William Wankenstein is a thirty-year old virgin. He feels rejected by society and especially by women. But in his basement flat, he has found a cure for his involuntary condition. William, a scientific genius, has designed and constructed his very own bespoke, perfect woman: Pandora. All William must do is bring her to life and teach her to love him. What could possibly go wrong?

In the 200th year since the original publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this modern, sci-fi play takes inspiration from Shelley’s iconic status as one of the world’s first science fiction writers. Bride of Wankenstein is a black comedy about toxic masculinity in a microcosm of the internet, and indeed, of modern society.
