About this Event

Hubris is a brand new, original piece of theatre created by the Cast Offs Youth Theatre Company. a new generation of young creatives working with Chol Theatre as part of Cast Offs 2025.

The show draws inspiration from Mary Shelley and the legacy of Frankenstein, weaving together themes of creation, identity, and the changing relationship between humans and the technologies we build. The story follows Mary and Percy, two characters whose ambition pulls them into an experiment that pushes the boundaries of imagination, invention, and control.
