The music on this album was composed for a production of Nick Dear’s Frankenstein at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse in January 2022. The production was directed by OSCAR and BAFTA-nominated animator/director Barry J C Purves, and starred Rhys Nuttall as The Creature. The photographs in the album artwork were taken by Alex Hesketh.
In June 2024, this soundtrack was used again by the Congleton Players in their production of the same name, directed by Robin Jackson; a production which went on to win multiple awards, including the NODA Award for Best Drama in the North West 2024.
In 2025, Nicholas Peters was commissioned by the Congleton Players to compose another score, this time for the brand new play, Frankenstein: The Fire and the Silence, written and directed by Robin Jackson. Set in the Arctic wilderness, Frankenstein: The Fire and the Silence reimagines Mary Shelley’s last chapter. In January 2026, Nicholas Peters completed the full score, with over 3 hours of new music written especially for this show, including a cinematic immersive pre-show. The world premiere performances of Frankenstein: The Fire and the Silence take place between 3rd February and 7th February 2026 at the Daneside Theatre in Congleton.
