We’re thrilled to welcome new production members to the creative crew behind FRANKENSTEIN, joining our very strong backstage crew headed up by our Production Manager, Kit Williams (ITV drama Line Manager) and Stage Manager ‘one-man tour de force’ Geoff Donkin.

The music (and incidental) music and soundscape is being handled by synthesiser maestro Alan Melvyn Dicker. Alan is a highly-regarded musician and regularly plays gigs at festivals to an appreciative following. He’s also one the UK’s foremost expert in vintage synthesiser reconditioning. He’ll be pressing the lovely analogue sounds of the famous Prophet 5 and Juno 106 into tension-filled action for various cues throughout the play.

We also welcome Letitia on board for make-up. Alongside lead make-up artist, Ben Boyle, who’ll be handling the biggest challenge – The Creature, Tish will be managing the other cast of characters. Her last stage engagement was working on Beauty and the Beast at The Haymarket.

Our costume department is being led by the wonderful Sue Molyneux with her team, including expert Lesley Parish. We can’t thank them enough – their experience is invaluable!

Kevin Gillard joins us and brings his considerable lighting expertise and experience to designing our challenging lighting requirements.

Professional cameraman Martin Simpson-Hughes joins us to film some segments on location. Martin currently works on The One Show and Olympics coverage for the BBC. We’ll be on location soon!

These new crew members join David Walton, our set design wizard and Andy Large, sound desk, in forging the look and sound of FRANKENSTEIN. It’ll be huge!
