Welcome to the first of our ‘Bringing literature to life’ collaborations...
It’s time to immerse yourself in the world of literature, with this creative painting event based on the world's most famous gothic novel…. Frankenstein!
And what more fitting date than Friday 13th.. Do you dare?
The story: Frankenstein tells the story of gifted scientist Victor Frankenstein who succeeds in giving life to a being of his own creation. However, this is not the perfect specimen he imagines it will be, but rather a hideous creature who is rejected by Victor and mankind in general!
The setting: The exquisite Portico library, a 210-year-old private subscription library in the heart of the city, with a unique collection of books, archives & illustrations spanning over 450 years! The most perfect setting for a night of art, music, film & costume!
The Company: The Creative Society Manchester are a local events company who host fun & creative pop-up art, craft, and themed events at fantastic venues across the city!
