With her production of Dogfight nominated Best Musical in the recent Evening Standard Awards, producer Danielle Tarento presents the world premiere of Gods and Monsters in a five-week season at Southwark Playhouse from February 5 – 7 March.

The story follows Frankenstein director James Whale, who has been long forgotten by the Hollywood studios. Now in retirement he has fallen victim to a series of strokes, and the only demons he fights are in his head. Not so much a Hollywood history as a glorious imagining, it explores the sometimes divine, sometimes monstrous landscape of obsession and desire.
