Night Waves

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

How far is today's debate about biotechnology and the ethics of science undermined by a tale of gothic horror 200 years old? Paul Allen discusses Frankenstein's
Footsteps, in which Jon Turney argues that Mary Shelley 's monster and other images of science in arts and media profoundly influence today's discussion of genetics. Plus first-night news from the opening of Sebastian Barry 's play Our Lady of Sligo at the National Theatre.
