Dangerous to Know! - Live Theatre at Poynings Village Hall

13 Apr 2026

Poynings Village Hall is hosting a special live theatre performance this Saturday - Dangerous to Know!

Poynings Village Hall

Set in July 1841, the story follows Claire Clairmont, Lord Byron's former mistress, as a secret revealed at a funeral draws her back into a world of scandal, memory and mystery. Turning to her half-sister, Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein), the two are drawn into uncovering the truth.

A gripping and atmospheric production exploring the lives and connections of some of the 19th century's most fascinating figures.

Performance Details:

• 60-minute play
• Interval included
• Followed by a 20-minute after-show talk and Q&A

Date: Saturday 18th April
