Frankenstein

Somerville Theatre

After Mary Shelley and Thomas Melle, in an adaptation by Philipp Arnold. The scientist Victor Frankenstein appears to have achieved what humanity has longed for since time immemorial: to overcome the laws of life and death like a god. A human-like creature sees the light of day, but its creator casts it out in disgust. Searching for belonging, the creature swears revenge, and a pursuit to the ends of the earth begins. The production asks who the monster really is here, and whether we can bear responsibility for what we create.

Frankenstein, or: Dirty Creation

Münchner Volkstheater

“I created life. You don’t believe me but it’s true. I didn’t start from scratch of course but out of portions and odd ends I made something –alive. But what I created... it wasn’t a superhuman. It was a monster.”

Mary Shelley
