From The Last Man by Mary Shelley “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. “Superb” – Hidden Gem, Fringe Review, 2022 Adapted by award-winning writer Sam Chittenden This 5-star Brighton Company is back with a brand new comedy eco-thriller A new play by award winning Brighton based playwright Susanne Crosby Twilight Theatre premiered Susanne Crosby’s critically acclaimed “Waiting for Curry” to Hove Grown Festival in 2017. After sold out shows in Brighton Fringe Festival 2018, they were invited to perform at Kings Head Theatre, London in January 2019. “Waiting for Curry”: ★★★★ (James Roy, Meridian FM) “Highly Recommended” (Fringe Review) Audience feedback: “It’s like The Peep Show meets Pinter, without the pauses”
