The setting is July 1841 – St Mary Magdalene Church, Hucknall Torkard

POYNINGS PARISH COUNCIL “DANGEROUS TO KNOW!”

Claire Clairmont, Lord Byron’s former mistress, has just laid her mother to rest before heading back to Europe. However, a secret passed to Claire at the funeral has raked up painful memories about their scandalous affair and a growing conviction that she must uncover the truth.

Resolving she cannot do this alone, Claire turns to her half-sister, Mary Shelley — author of Frankenstein. After all, Mary was part of the Byron circle; she’ll know what to do.

Are they prepared for what will be unearthed?

60-minute play. Followed by an interval

Then a lively 20-minute after-show presentation & Q&A

Saturday 18 April 2026. Poynings Village Hall, BN45 7AQ
