BWW Stage Mag The God-Bomb - The Hope Theatre Stage Mag

Follow Us:

Presented to you tonight, some may see as the most unnaturalistic abhorrent horror but some may see as inspiration, and maybe even absolution. I present to you the final recordings and audio of Doctor David Hopper Senior, MD and his test subject… Faith!’

After a tragic accident, introverted scientist David finds himself incapable of moving on from the past until his newest invention succeeds and his recently deceased girlfriend, Faith, finds herself once again among the living. Despite their forced isolation, Faith finds herself more alive than ever and determined to make up for lost time, leading David to quickly find himself thrust towards a future that he doesn’t belong in.

A grave affair about religion, experimentation, and venom, our historian has preserved their home and recreated snapshots of these final few months, trying to put together the pieces of exactly what sins took place in this studio flat. We invite you to watch the line blur between Frankenstein and his monster from the comfort of their own home.

Bear witness to The God-Bomb!
