"A BBC Radio dramatisation of Mary Shelley's classic tale. Frankenstein was written by a teenager and the story has all the energy and emotional intensity of this time of life. It's a thrilling, horrifying adventure, packed with incident and breath-taking moments. But the incident and surface horror are metaphors for deeper, ever relevant themes: the hubris of science and those who practise it without moral responsibility; society's attitudes to difference; the quest for love. Most importantly, it raises profound questions about children; the love/hate relationship between parents and adolescents; the guilt and pain suffered by both when it all goes wrong. Dramatised by Lucy Catherine. Starring Jamie Parker as Frankenstein, with Shaun Dooley, Susie Riddell, Alun Raglan, Robert Blythe, Sam Alexander, Christine Alexander, Patrick Brennan, Bruce Alexander, Emma Hook, Joe Sims and Don Gilet. Music by Colin Guthrie. Directed by Marc Beeby."@en

"Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was the first horror novel, shocking and intriguing those who read it at the time of its composition. Like her hero, Victor Frankenstein, Shelley transgresses the boundary between life and death. Victor Frankenstein stitches together a monster out of charnel parts and brings him to life, exposing him to a world that hates and fears him, and which he learns to hate in return. The monster begs his creator to make him a bride, in order that he should not be completely alone in the world. The monster vows vengeance at Frankenstein's refusal, and carries it out in a dreadful way. But Shelley does not make the monster wholly monstrous -- rather, hers is a monster with a conscience, albeit one exercised far too late."@en

Qui, en revanche, connaît réellement le Frankenstein de Mary Shelley? Retrouvez la saveur originelle de l'oeuvre mythique de Shelley dans une adaptation respectueuse servie par 12 comédiens.

La délicatesse de l'oeuvre est mise en relief par une composition musicale de Marie-Hélène Fournier pour quatre musiciens.
