About the show
Based on the novel Mary Shelley
Adapted for stage by Maria Anthony
Directed by Linda Potter
First published in 1818 when Mary Shelley was just 19 years old, this popular novel is based on what Shelley calls a “waking dream” she experienced. Her story of Dr. Frankenstein and the monster he brings to life, but for which he does not take responsibility, has had an influence on literature and popular culture for almost 200 years. This riveting play invites us to consider the moral issues of scientific experimentation as it relates to the creation of life, the impact of isolation, and the power of nature and natural instincts.
