1816: The Year Without a Summer

Nat Riches and Natasha Atkinson

Trapped indoors by torrential rain, legendary writers Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley and their friends, Polidori and Claire, search for inspiration by the gloomy Lake Geneva. But things fall apart the longer they are stuck together. Polidori’s diary is brought to life in our brand new musical 1816: The Year Without a Summer.

This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
