Adapted for audio by writer Jonathan Barnes (The Somnambulist, The Ordeals of Sherlock Holmes), and directed by Scott Handcock (The Confessions of Dorian Gray), this chilling tale also features the vocal talents of other familiar voices from the Doctor Who universe, including Geoffrey Beevers (The Master) as Victor’s father, Alphonse; Georgia Moffett (The Doctor’s Daughter, Jenny) as Victor’s betrothed, Elizabeth; and Terry Molloy (Davros) as hardbitten sailor, Christensen. Alex Jordan, Geoffrey Breton, Lizzie Hopley, Stephen Fewell and Sarah Ovens also star.

‘This is a project that Arthur and I have been discussing for some time,’ explains producer and director Scott Handcock, ‘and it’s been an absolute joy to finally bring it to life. Jonathan’s adaptation is confident and full-blooded, and every single one of our cast members raised their game to match the material. It’s a fresh and faithful adaptation of a classic story, and it promises to be a gripping listen!’
