fearful_stepsIn May 1816 Mary and Percy Shelley travelled to Lake Geneva to stay with the infamous Lord Byron. It was here; late at night by candlelight that Mary discussed her fascination of the medical experiments of the 18th century, specifically the ability of animating dead matter and the horrors of restoring a corpse to life. Prompted by her imagination, Byron forms a challenge… for Mary to create a supernatural story entirely of her own. Inspired by reality and driven by fiction the three of them unfold Mary's tale creating one of the greatest stories of all time!

A fantastically chilling tale told by three actors that will leave your hair standing on end!
