FRANKENSTEIN

The young and brilliant Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein the novel in 1818, and it is hailed as the world’s first science fiction novel and one of the finest pieces of literature ever written in English. FRANKENSTEIN by Nick Dear adheres to Shelley’s original story and honors its ambitious exploration of man playing God. The play premiered at the Royal National Theatre in 2011, where it sold out every performance and garnered great acclaim. FRANKENSTEIN is suspenseful, thought provoking and frighteningly relevant to today’s world.
