Synopsis

'Must we love everything we create?'

Outside the cosy confines of a chalet in the Swiss Alps, a storm is gathering momentum. Acclaimed filmmaker Angelica Thorne is preparing to face the rain after a long day of press interviews about her new cinematic adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, when there is an unexpected knock at the door ...

Emily Sheehan's Frame Narrative is a labyrinth of a play that whisks its audience from gothic thriller, to 90s trashy horror, to psychological drama. Can you ever really separate the creature from the creator? And what do you need to risk to make 'good' art?

Shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2025
