Frankenstein - Or, the Man and the Monster - A Stage Play (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

From the prolific pen of H. M. Milner, a leading dramatist of the early 19th century, comes one of the earliest and most influential theatrical adaptations of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. First staged in 1826, this script was instrumental in transforming the novel's philosophical tragedy into a thrilling public spectacle.

Frankenstein - Or, the Man and the Monster captures the dramatic intensity of the Gothic classic, focusing on the terrible relationship between Victor Frankenstein and his nameless, persecuted Creature. Milner's version helped define the public image of the monster for decades, showcasing the pathos and terror of the creature's existence. The play is a powerful example of Romantic melodrama, filled with dramatic action and high emotional stakes that terrified and enthralled early 19th-century audiences.

This historical script is an essential read for students of Gothic drama, theatre history, and all fans who wish to explore the foundational dramatic origins of the most iconic monster legend in literature.
