Two days later Mary, 18 years old and having recently watched her premature baby die, has a \u2018waking dream\u2019 and begins to write a story that will haunt and define her for the rest of her life. \u2018So this is why you created me? Not to scare your readers. Not to scare yourself. But to scare away the things that really frightened you? So that you can sleep at night?\u2019 The Monster and Mary Shelley is an atmospheric, moving, and at times darkly comic exploration of \u2018fear\u2019. Incorporating elements of music hall, melodrama, horror and teenage rebellion with a pulsing cinematic score, The Monster\u2026 explores the world of Mary Shelley \u2013 the Gothic Girl who electrified the world. The most enduring of all horror stories. A haunting exploration of the life of Mary Shelley, of her monster\u2026 and fear.<p><small>Date: 09\/05\/18<br\/><\/small><small>Start Time: 20:00:00<br\/><\/small><small>Venue: Sabhal M\u00f2r Ostaig, TDC main hall<br\/><\/small><small>Audience Numbers: 29<br\/><\/small><small>Type: Theatre Adult<br\/><\/small><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1369","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1369\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
