Mathilda

A haunting confession unfolds in solitude.

From her deathbed, Mathilda tells the story she has carried in silence—one marked by love, loss, and a devastating truth that reshaped her life forever. Orphaned young and raised in emotional distance, she is reunited with her father only to face a revelation so profound it fractures their bond and drives him toward irreversible despair.

In the aftermath, Mathilda retreats into isolation, burdened by grief and guilt, seeking meaning in a world that feels irreparably altered. Her only connection comes through Woodville, a compassionate poet whose presence offers brief solace but cannot reach the depths of her inner turmoil.

Written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley during a period of personal tragedy, Mathilda is an intimate Gothic novella that examines the psychological weight of forbidden emotion, the fragility of human connection, and the quiet unraveling of a soul in retreat from the world.

Narrated with emotional clarity by Liz Leafloor, this production brings Shelley's deeply personal and rarely discussed work to life with sensitivity and restraint.
