| description | My contribution to this investigation of science fiction theatre focuses on the early stage adaptations of Frankenstein. Synonymous with unethical scientificity, this narrative is identified as influencing later ’anti-science fiction’ narratives (Stableford 2006, 19). After the publication of Mary Shelley’s novel in 1818, however, theatre adaptations of this text had a much larger audience than the written work for two decades. These performances, Iargely unknown, emphasize the following dyad: scientific invention and the failure of the inventor to promote the positive integration of his creation into society. They present a conflict between the non-verbal rhetorical energy of the man invented by Frankenstein, who is silent in these plays, and the verbal rhetoric of the scientist, who acts as a mediator between his invention and society. |
