Frankenstein
by Mary Shelley, adapted by Sophie Wright
Mission
I was an executive producers and head of publicity for Frankenstein, which launched Castle Theatre Company's radio drama branch. I designed the poster, secured workshops with schools, secured reviewers, found and managed a team of illustrators for the production and collaborated with ReadEnglishAtDurham to organise podcast releases. Released in January 2021, and involving a team of 24, we ensured that theatre could continue during lockdown and managed to make a £400 profit from ticket sales and workshops. The show was also streamed for the Scottish Online Student Drama Festival for free, with all donations going to Acting For Others charity.
