Mary Shelley's “Frankenstein” Comes to Porter Theatre
March 4, 2004
Westmont College’s Repertory Theater presents Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” 8 p.m. Feb. 26-28 and March 4-6 with a matinee performance at 2 p.m. March 6 in Porter Theatre. The production, adapted and directed by Professor John Blondell, is a theatrical presentation based on the famous Romantic novel.
Begun in 1816, “Frankenstein” was completed in 1818 when Mary Shelley was but 19 years old. Though early response was mixed, the novel is now considered one of the most significant novels of the early Romantic period, as well as an icon of contemporary culture.
