Synopsis: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is often called the first true work of science fiction. The story comes alive in this chilling and moving radio-play adaptation. The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist whose ambition leads him to create life, only to recoil from the creature he brings into the world. What follows is a tale of loneliness, rejection, vengeance, and the search for belonging that still resonates today.

The Argument: Frankenstein symbolizes the very definition of a legend: a story that has transcended time, retold and reimagined for over two centuries. Its characters—the ambitious creator and the forsaken creature—are icons whose images have been reimagined endlessly across culture. More than horror, Shelley’s masterpiece endures because it is unforgettable, sensational, and profoundly human. Like all legends, it forces us to confront what it means to be remembered, and at what cost.
