    By Nat Riches & Natasha Atkinson

    21:00, Wed 6th – Thu 7th August 2025 at Camden Fringe
    Summer Vacation

    Trapped indoors by torrential rain, legendary writers Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley and their friends, Polidori and Claire, search for inspiration by the gloomy Lake Geneva. But things fall apart the longer they are stuck together... Polidori’s diary is brought to life in the 1816 Year Without a Summer musical.
