Joseph Morpurgo

Comedian Joseph Morpurgo presents his masterpiece: a boundary-smashing, nine-hour adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Or is it?

An outlandishly funny multimedia comedy from the distinguished mind of the 2015 Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, three-time 2016 Chortle Award winner and BBC Radio Four star, Joseph Morpurgo.

Featuring surreal set-pieces, vivid comic writing – and monsters, Morpurgo's adaptation is a must-see for comedy-lovers.

Following sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre, Hammerhead comes to Southbank Centre for a special one-off performance.
