The Romancers

Before Percy, before love, before Frankenstein, before she was Mary Shelley, young Mary spent her afternoons writing and dreaming at her mother’s grave by the Fleet River in a northern suburb of London. This work-in-progress will cover ten years of Mary’s life. At OTE, Sarah Hammond & Kathryn Hathaway will work on pieces from this new musical, which imagines Mary’s early teen years and guesses at her first inspirations for Frankenstein.
