In Theatre Lunatico's production of Frankenstein, a chorus of women retell the classic work of sci-fi and horror -- embodying and unleashing the feminist perspective that birthed Mary Shelley's landmark novel.
Playwright Tina Taylor's new adaptation of Frankenstein also fully realizes the character of Margaret, the recipient of the letters which generate the story's narrative-and yet in the novel she is largely an unseen and silent witness. Lunatico's Margaret is a lover and a feminist, torn between curiosity about the future and sympathy for those crushed in the path of its development - a poignant dilemma for Bay Area audiences wrestling with the possibilities of A.I.
