About This Event

Prepare for a thought-provoking theatrical experience this August as "Cinderella and Frankenstein’s Monster Are Dead" arrives at theSpaceTriplex in Edinburgh on 7 August 2026. This production boldly tackles the complexities of cultural displacement, weaving a narrative around a Chinese exchange student. She finds an unexpected kinship with Frankenstein’s monster, seeing a reflection of her own sense of being pieced together and fundamentally out of place. The play unfolds within the vibrant, often dramatic, world of an American high school drama club as they prepare their rendition of Cinderella. Through this familiar fairy tale, the protagonist is compelled to confront her own unsettling feelings of alienation. The production promises an intriguing and perhaps disquieting examination of how foreign narratives can intersect with and amplify personal anxieties and inner turmoil, creating a unique and compelling theatrical journey for the audience.
