Mer de glace

About the show

The elderly Claire Clairmont recalls her love for Percy Shelley and rivalry with Mary. During a storm at Villa Diodati, Mary’s nightmare brings Frankenstein’s creation into their lives: the Monster kills Mary’s child and begs Shelley for acceptance and a companion, but is rejected. Claire is left to return to England pregnant and unsupported, while Byron and Polidori shape a version of events that obscures Byron’s role in her life.
