Frankenstein

An Adaptation of Mary Shelley’s

Frankenstein
Playing with Fire (After Frankenstein)

by Barbara Field

Praised as “arguably the best adaptation of Frankenstein ever written” (A&E), this eloquent play begins after the Frankenstein story. An exhausted and dying
Victor Frankenstein has finally tracked down his Creature in the lonely, frozen tundra of the North Pole. Determined to right the wrong he has committed by, at
last, destroying the malignant evil he believes he has created, he must first deal with his own guilt. As the two debate, scenes from the past flash by. Ultimately
the exchange between Frankenstein and the Creature becomes a confrontation between parent and child, scientist and experiment, rejection and love, good and
evil—culminating in the Creature’s agonizing question, “Why did you make me?”
