Some
of literature’s most terrifying characters, including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian
Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula are lurking in the darkest
corners of Victorian London. Penny Dreadful is a frightening psychological
thriller that weaves together these classic horror origin stories into a new
adult drama.
Featuring: Harry Treadaway, Danny Sapani, Reeve Carney, and Billie Piper
Dr.
Frankenstein
More Romantic poet than surgeon, Dr. Frankenstein is a tender, gentle
soul who is fascinated by the mysteries of life and death. He has dedicated
himself to researching what makes something live, and has sacrificed everything
for his scientific pursuit. But he is playing with fire, and his research pays
off in shocking ways with devastating consequences.
Sembene
Sembene is an African man with ritual face scarring who serves as Sir
Malcolm's sentry and confidant. He has an air of mystery about him and his
heroic efforts will prove invaluable to Sir Malcolm in his personal quest.
Dorian
Gray
Dorian Gray is a fabulously wealthy young gentleman who is almost
unnerving in his beauty. His skin seems to radiate a golden glow of
intoxicating youth and promise. A recklessly abandoned sensualist, he has a
devil-may-care attitude that borders on dangerous. Nothing seems to faze him,
nor are any risks too great. In fact, he is unnaturally drawn to them.
Brona
Croft
Brona is a poor Irish immigrant to Victorian London trying to escape a
dark and sordid past. The Gaelic meaning of her name is "sadness,"
yet she remains lovely, spirited, and erotically alive. She forms a bond with
Ethan Chandler, who will do anything for her.
