Elle Fanning in the new drama Mary Shelley this Sunday morning
Feel free to share:
Acclaimed director Haifaa Al-Mansour (Wadjda) brings to life Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin’s fiery, tempestuous relationship with romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the creation of Frankenstein, one of the world’s most famous Gothic novels.
The pair are two outsiders constrained by polite society but bound together by a natural chemistry and progressive ideas that are beyond the boundaries of their age and time. Mary (Ellie Fanning) and Percy (Tom Sturridge) declare their love for each other and much to her family’s horror they run away together, joined by Mary’s half-sister Claire (Bel Powley).
