Events Description
BY H.M. MILNER
DIRECTED BY DWAYNE BRENNA
Henry Milner’s 1826 Frankenstein, based on Mary Shelley’s famous novel, was the first stage adaptation that featured the birth of the Monster on stage, in plain view of the audience. Subsequent retellings of the story, on stage and screen, have rarely failed to capitalize on Milner’s innovation. Even Mel Brooks, in his modernized film comedy Young Frankenstein, chose to show the birth of the Monster directly to the audience, with the subsequent line, “It’s alive!”, uttered by the excited scientist who gave the Monster life.
Milner’s adaptation plays fast and loose with the original story, setting it at the Prince Del Piombino’s villa in Sicily. Through early scenes, the Monster learns to hate the world into which he has been born. In the final scene, set on the volcanic Mount Etna, the Monster is cornered by townspeople and soldiers.
Return with Greystone Theatre to the glory days of the melodrama, with its exotic settings and larger-than-life characters! Enjoy the spectacle of Frankenstein’s Monster as he was first portrayed on the London stage!
