Conception: Mary Shelley - The Making of a Monster

October, 1840: Gothic writer, Mary Shelley’s first pilgrimage back to Europe in twenty years.

Has Mary the courage to confront the past on her return to Lake Geneva, the birthplace of her most famous novel Frankenstein? Will she find the solace she seeks at Villa Diodati where she, Percy Shelley and Byron spent that unforgettable summer… ‘Was I the same person who had lived there, the companion of the dead?’

A voyage of self-discovery leading to a brutal confrontation with her creation on the Mer de Glace. Discover why Mary really wrote Frankenstein; everything they didn’t teach you at school…
