Summer 1816. In a rented villa on the shores of Lake Geneva, in self-imposed exile and pursuit of perfect freedom, are two of the foremost poets of the Romantic era, Byron and Shelley. And their young mistresses...One of whom, Mary Godwin Shelley, is, at nineteen years old, about to eclipse ;them by conceiving the most potent of modern creation myths, Frankenstein and spawning a whole new genre, science fiction. Blood and Ice is a mesmerising, dreamlike play, moving like a phantom through space and time, beautiful, eerie and full of creation, death, love and loss.
