The National Theater Encore Production of Frankenstein was an enjoyable and fairly accurate depiction of Mary Shelley’s novel in 1818. The play generally stayed close to the plot in Mary Shelley’s original novel but had a few interesting additions that made it more culturally accurate in the modern day. For example, the dialogue between the creature and Elizabeth (pictured above) revealed a lot about just how desperate the creature was to have love and a partner. This was revealed by the scene in which the creature rapes and violently kills Elizabeth in the movie. The creature brought to life the transition from being innocent to evil. This was an impressive production that is one of the many examples of the novel still being active in today’s society.
