Unconventional misfit or uncaring monster? Before Mary, before Byron, before Frankenstein, the life of Horsham’s most (in)famous son was already the stuff of scandal.
Lights & Bushels, Horsham’s award-winning innovative theatre company presents the world premiere of this powerful and thought-provoking play by Kathryn Attwood. Written especially for the Year of Culture, Mad Shelley shines a light on the less well known but no less fascinating aspects of the life of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley – his first marriage and subsequent estrangement from his wealthy Horsham family.
