FRANKENSTEIN

PRESENTED BY SISATA

Frankenstein, Live Theatre in Pentridge, Dorset…

We are very pleased to announce the live performance of Frankenstein by SISATA Open Air Theatre Group right here in Pentridge!

We have been lucky enough to host SISATA twice before. In 2016 they performed Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles and in 2017 they performed William Shakespeare’s Othello on our Village Green. The performances were massive hits and we are delighted that they have agreed to return for 2018 with Frankenstein!

Frankenstein

SISATA’s Charmaine K Parkin has collaborated with BAFTA award-winning writer and Doppelganger Productions’ artistic director, John Foster. In partnership with Lighthouse Poole and created with support from the Arts Council England, The Official Shelley Theatre and Shelley Frankenstein Festival.

Frankenstein is a modern-day take and a radical re-imagining of Mary Shelley’s infamous gothic tale to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its publication.

When humans have the knowledge and scientific advancement to create life. What if ‘the monster’ is created in the human ideal of perfection?

The play will be an experimental, free adaptation inspired by ‘The Modern Prometheus’.

SISATA’s mission is to bring engaging and interactive performances of classic stories accessibly to modern audiences, highlighting the timeless issues that are presented.

Where does the money go?

This event will help to raise funds for Pentridge Village Hall, St. Rumbolds Church and our ‘charity of the year for 2018’ Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospital At Home Team in the memory of Sarah Trent.

Our Village Hall is a former school with an abundance of character. For the past few years, funds have been raised (including grants from the National Lottery and other sources) to enable the loving restoration and refurbishment of this historic building.

Recent works on the hall have included restorative structural work, a new oak floor, soft furnishings, a new kitchen and a disabled toilet. Fundraising has also enabled the purchase of new chairs and tables, a storage shed and a defibrillator.

The hall is now available to use as a community building and for private hire. Activities and events are run by volunteers and fundraising efforts are in place to enable continued renovation, upkeep and maintenance of the hall and adjoining schoolhouse.
