Lord Byron: Dangerous To Know

For the 200th anniversary of the death of Lord Byron

CLAIR OBSCUR presents… in association with The Byron Society...

LORD BYRON: DANGEROUS TO KNOW

July 1841, St Mary Magdalene Church, Hucknall Torkard.

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 nagging conviction that she must uncover the truth. Resolving she cannot do this alone, Claire co-opts her stepsister, Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’ to help. After all, Mary was part of the Byron set; she’ll know what to do.

However, the past is sordid, murky and digging for answers requires getting your hands dirty. And are they prepared for what will be unearthed?

​Writer and Actor Deborah Clair will have copies of her published text containing both 'Conception' (as previously performed at The Barn) and 'Dangerous to Know' available to purchase after the performance.
