“I am a victim of fate - bound for nowhere, adrift and alone”

Set in a 21st century wracked by deadly plague, Mary Shelley’s 1826 novel The Last Man is poignant and hugely relevant today. Written after the death of her husband and three of her children, it expresses Mary’s own sense of loss and isolation, and features characters based on Mary herself, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and sisters Fanny Godwin and Claire Claremont.

This one-woman adaptation explores the book’s biographical elements and Shelley’s graphic depiction of a world wracked by pandemic. Performances at Lantern Theatre, Brighton
