newlywed

Victorian audiences were repelled by Henrik Ibsen’s fatally attractive newlywed who appears to have it all — the fancy house, the doting husband — only to be violently bored.

Because Shelley came up with “Frankenstein” as an 18-year-old newlywed who’d just lost a baby, her message gets boiled down to gender: Women birth life, men mimic it.

The venue, on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, also features a fully restored cottage for newlyweds who get married there, as well as multiple areas where couples can say their "I do's".

As a result, county officials are hoping to collect more from would-be newlyweds to help close the financial gap.

Thompson’s scheming newlywed manipulates the other characters with the confidence of a queen who controls all the pieces on the board, but every so often she simply has to flip the table over.
