Dr Frankenstein

Dr Frankenstein
Victoria Frankenstein is a brilliant, visionary young woman. Its an age of enlightenment, a time when old orders begin to crumble and everything seems possible. Provided of course, that you are an English-man. Women are not allowed to study medicine in England, so Victoria travels to Bavaria to fulfil her destiny and become Dr. Frankenstein. Victorias experiments lead her to very brink of human knowledge, the secret of life itself.

Notes:
Based on the novel Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Hedda Gabler, This Is Not a Love Story

Hedda Gabler, This Is Not a Love Story
This married life is not what Hedda Gabler signed up for. She is the daughter of a general; a gun-toting, horse-riding, party-throwing siren. Then, with one little ring on a finger, shes supposed to turn into the quiet, predictable wife of an academic. hen promises are broken, an old ame comes to town, blackmail and scandal are threatened and other, braver women start to occupy the limelight, Hedda has to decide: must she submit, settle down and knuckle under or is it possible to stand up, take control and tear it all down? Hedda Gabler is Henrik Ibsens masterpiece, possibly the greatest stage role ever written for an actress. This funny, shocking and powerful play opens up the desperation and absurdity of trying to live as a thing that you are not.

Life Without

Synopsis:
A tiny thing not done. A half-heard thought not acted on. Suddenly everything changed - for all of them. A year later a group of apparently disparate people are brought together by a desperate attempt to find, not redemption, not resolution, not forgiveness - just whatever can come next. Beautiful, theatrical, and strangely joyful, Life Without is a compelling look at the ability to endure.
