Written two centuries ago in 1818 by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus is the first true science fiction novel. Years ahead of its time, the story has since become the inspiration for countless films, and other works of fiction. Frankenstein is a living, breathing, gruesome outcome of scientific discovery. At a time when humanity is making enormous advances in artificial intelligence we have become more and more dependent on technology and, as a result, have perhaps moved further and further away from understanding each other. This piece raises vitally important questions about the nature of this innovation, the importance of human empathy, the desolation of isolation, and just what it means to be a human.

Victor Frankenstein is a Swiss scientist with a mission to create an artificial human. Without considering the consequences of such progress, he succeeds with terrifying results. After wandering the world alone, the monster eventually comes for Frankenstein’s family. Horrific events unfold until the doctor tentatively agrees to create a partner for the creature. Ultimately, the doctor refuses in an effort to spare humanity but bears the terrible and personal penalties of his decision. Two hundred years later, Frankenstein still poses a myriad of critical ethical questions. Aquila Theatre’s production of this timeless classic will be bold and thrilling – while paying homage to the original, frightening writing of Mary Shelley. https://www.aquilatheatre.com/frankenstein-midsummernightsdream/
