Wiltshire Police called following Frankenstein rehearsal screams

The story follows the plight of Victor Frankenstein, a student of natural science who creates an artificial man from pieces of stolen corpses before bringing it to life.

He believes his discovery will lead to further scientific advances, but he is filled with fear and loathing after his creation turns against him.

“As you can imagine, in Frankenstein there’s a few scenes that are quite dark,” said Andrew Morrison, director of the drama society.

“It’s quite scary, there’s a couple of deaths, it’s violent in places as well.”

Mr Morrison said the group wanted to rehearse at the time of night they would would be performing the scene, which likely contributed to the couple’s concern.

“They were pretty scared,” said Mr Morrison.

“I felt a bit guilty actually, because it can’t have been much fun for them.

“But they were really good about it and they saw the funny side almost immediately,” he added.
