'A startling, unsettling and hugely theatrical adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless classic, produced by award-winning playwright Christine Davey, Skin of our Teeth Productions and La Mama Theatre.

'A funny, thoughtful, horrific and remarkable story of love, power, friendship, betrayal and every emotion in between.

'Frankenstein is a larger-than-life (and death) production celebrating and unleashing the monster in all of us. A visceral piece of theatre that grabs at your heart and soul and never lets go.

'The future is female and here she comes, ready or not.' (Publication summary)

'Meet Alice Anderson – a gay mechanic and entrepreneur in 1920s Melbourne

'Meet Joy Hester – a fierce, angry, larger-than life artist in 1940s Melbourne

'Meet Elizabeth Gould – mother, lover, wife, artist of colonial Australia in the 1800s

'Meet Dawn Faizey-Webster – a woman with locked in syndrome completing her PhD with the blink of an eye.

'These remarkable women have been relegated to the sidelines of history and it’s time to bring them centre stage. In four interweaving, funny, moving, thought-provoking monologues, two actors – Mary Steuten and Tess Parker – inhabit these extraordinary women, telling their stories with truth, rawness and vulnerability.'

'Sybylla Melvyn is a young woman on the verge of life and freedom and is determined, above all else, to break down the barriers keeping her from both. 

'From the award-winning Skin of Our Teeth Productions comes My Brilliant Career, a theatrical re-imagining of Stella Miles Franklin’s timeless novel. This is the story of Sybylla Melvyn, a young woman on the verge of everything – hope, loss, freedom and the search for independence. Christine Davey’s adaptation is a glorious love letter to landscape and language, a homage to life.'
