Cinderella and Frankenstein's Monster Are Dead

The Beachcombers

A gothic fairytale for the culturally confused. A Chinese exchange student at an American high school sees herself in Frankenstein’s monster – stitched together and out of place. When the drama club stages Cinderella, she auditions to prove her worth, only to find herself longing for the Mandarin rhymes she once sang with pride. As foreign stories glitch into nightmares, she realises: both the princess and the monster are dead. She’s neither. Critically acclaimed at 2025 Brighton Fringe: 'raw, eye-opening' **** (TheatreInBrighton.co.uk), 'refreshing and linguistically aware take on identity construction' **** (SoundBehindCurtain.com).
