by MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT SHELLEY adapted by MALCOLM HAZELL
with Hugh Dickson as Victor Frankenstein
Trevor Martin as the Daemon
I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion. Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.' (MARY SHELLEY: preface to the 1831 edition)
Time: end of the 18th century.
Producer BRIAN MILLER (Bristol) (1972)
