The first production for REP’s 2018-19 Season is Selma Dimitrijevic’s Dr Frankenstein. Opening on 6 April, directed by Jordan Best; the play is about women and their place in the world, about god—or his absence, and about science, and the ramifications of our actions. This is the first performance of this play in Australia, which was first performed as a Northern Stage and Greyscale co-production in the UK in 2017.
This production is also the first of REP’s 2018-19 season to begin with an Education Preview performance for the Preview Night. Schools are welcome to attend and discuss the play with cast and crew after the performance.
