'God has given you one face, and you make yourself another'
‘Never the Bride’ by Paul Magrs, is the first in a series of popular books that star Brenda, the re-imagined jilted bride of the monster created by Dr Frankenstein. Along with her best friend, Effie, and a teenage outsider, Robert, they find themselves battling monsters, demons, criminals and occasionally each other, protecting the picturesque seaside port of Whitby and their unique family.
We are mixing drama/comedy with fantasy, high art with popular culture. Trying to fuse the mundane with the surreal we hope to create an entertaining and compelling way of looking at gender and sexuality. Brenda, constructed of various body parts including, and not only, men's legs, was meant as a doll for a monster. Now she is on a journey to take control of her own life and chart her own destiny. Brenda might have been constructed with the help of a hand (or leg) of man but today she is a totally self-made woman.
Brenda’s world is an alternative reality, in which stories such as ‘War of the Worlds’ did actually happen (while Fu Manchu plotted world domination from a hide out amongst the foggy wharfs of Limehouse) yet most facets of modern life remain unchanged.
Join this band of outsiders in an exciting Season 1, Six Episode Series meant to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages young at heart (or liver).
