Standing before a Victorian scientific society, Mina recounts her experiences fighting the Count, attempting to validate her claims against the heavy skepticism of the academics who surround her. British Touring Shakespeare’s FRANKENSTEIN at Soulton Hall (2025) In this version, Mina is not a victim but a recognized vampire hunter. The play follows her as she fights to reclaim her truth from an establishment that would rather see her silenced, offering a sharp, intellectual perspective on the events of the gothic masterpiece. Soulton Hall, built in 1556 as a monument to Renaissance humanist thought and scientific curiosity, provides a powerful backdrop for this struggle between evidence and disbelief. As the “pungency of the night” settles over our historic grounds, the atmosphere of the Victorian shadows meets the gravity of our Tudor history.
