EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the historic Adelphi Theatre in London during the mid-19th century, where an extravaganza production of Mary Shelley's classic novel "Frankenstein" was brought to life in a most unexpected way. Titled "Frankenstein; or, The Model Man," this theatrical adaptation presented a humorous spin on the original gothic tale. In the heart of the scene, we see a room filled with the latest scientific equipment and models, reflecting the era's fascination with progress and innovation. At the center, Victor Frankenstein, the obsessive scientist, stands proudly next to his latest creation – a model of his infamous monster. The monster itself, a marvel of intricate design, looms in the background, its menacing presence softened by the playful tone of the production. The extravaganza format, popular during the Victorian era, was known for its elaborate spectacles, music, and comedy. This adaptation of "Frankenstein" likely incorporated elements of both comedy and tragedy, offering audiences an unforgettable theatrical experience. Mary Shelley's groundbreaking novel, first published in 1818, had already captivated readers with its exploration of creation, life, and the consequences of scientific ambition. This theatrical adaptation, produced in the 1850s, continued to engage audiences with its unique take on the story, showcasing the enduring appeal of Shelley's masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when the line between science and art, reality and illusion, was blurred, and the power of storytelling came alive on the stage.
