Frankenstein The Electric Theatre April 2005
Adaptation and dramatisation by Ian Nichols from the original novel
In February 1815, when Mary Shelley was seventeen, her first child was born prematurely, dying a few days later, unnamed. It was the first death of many to cast it’s shadow over her life. She wrote in her journal: ‘I think about the little thing all day. I dreamed that my little baby came to life again: that it had only been cold, and that we rubbed it before the fire, and it lived. And then I awoke and found no baby’
‘…… soon my mind was filled with one thought, one conception, one purpose. So much has been done…. more far more will I achieve; I will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation.’ MARY SHELLEY.
