Welcome to EXIT Theatre CO-OP's Website

We are a Croydon based, voluntary, community theatre co-operative formed in April 2001. Our founder members have a great deal of experience working in local theatre in the area and beyond, but we welcome new members and those that have never been involved with live theatre before. We have been very busy over the last few years and, as you can see from information on this website, we have staged a wide variety of main plays, alongside running regular workshops and some youth workshops.

Frankenstein's monster gasped its first breath in Mary Shelley's legendary 1818 novel, then came alive before everyone's eyes in the celebrated 1931 film, which became the most famous horror film of all time. A struggling actor named Boris Karloff was given the part of the creature when the film's director spotted him having lunch in the studio and was intrigued by the shape of his head!
The story centres around Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a misguided genius who is obsessed with the creation of artificial life and is conducting experiments in his laboratory near Vienna. A gruesome-looking creature is strapped to an operating table, waiting for a charge of electricity from a storm to bring it to life. But the experiment goes very wrong and the creature is caught in an existence it cannot comprehend. With its repulsive appearance and brute strength, the Monster terrifies any human it tries to befriend, thus becoming rejected and seeks revenge on the whole of humanity.
