So because doing math homework is overrated/hj i’ll just yap a bit about some ideas i have for the play, which i will be calling the play until i have a better name,,,,,

I imagine the scene where The creature is telling victor about its story starts with them sitting at a table in the little cabin or whatever on Mt.Blanc, where The creature starts explaining what happened after its “birth”. With the medical diary he found in Victor’s coat and everything.

When he gets to the De’Lacey’s the lights go black and there’s a scene change.

The table is still there but The creature and Victor aren’t. The De’Laceys (and Safya too, i’m not sure how to integrate her into the small retelling without being like the book, which i didn’t like how that was handled. To say the least) start showing up as they are mentioned and act more like those cuckoo clock figurines as the creature explains.

And when The creature tells the part of how he tried to talk to the father, and failed and then burned the house down, a second actor might have to dress up as the creature to do the stage action, as the real actor of the creature and Victor are either behind the stage narrating, the narration is being played over a speaker or the two are standing behind the audience and narrating.

When the part about the De’Laceys is done the stage goes dark again and The creature and Victor are back at the table, and the Creature asks for a companion ect. ect. We know how this then goes, i will keep the discussion short because i am probably not allowed to have a 6 hour play consisting of the most detailed dialogue bdnefbdjjd.

I will probably have to cut out some scenes and replace them with slightly shorter ones for context or make important scenes include information it would not in the book, to keep it as short but also long as possible. I will make it long enough for a brake though.

#Bro tf I rambled real good on this one #what procrastination does to a fucker #o well #frankenstein #red’s theatre ramble #i feel kinda guilty for clogging up the Frankenstein tag with my confusing ranting about my adaptation that doesn’t even have a good name #yet #like #help #if anyone wants me to stop using the Frankenstein tag or has a name suggestion i beg you to tell me like #please #criticism is welcome #how else would i learn right #ehm #yea #did i forget this play would have to be in german cuz i live in germany #i think i did oops #i might also go back on my main and try to find my year old musings about the original draft that got lost #I should get back to my math homework actually

EHM WELL, WHAT IS THIS?

So im writing this Frankenstein adaptation, it’s going to be a play that i can hopefully present to my school and see if we’ll perform it.

Im going to be documenting my ideas and progress, because i lost my old file where i already started writing (like almost a year ago, writers bloc yayy) and need to restart. am open to questions and suggestions and other ideas of course.

ABOUT THE PLAY

I’m going to try my best at making a very book accurate adaptation, ofc im going to put my own spin on things and my own interpretation of the novel will show but, how can i not? Im certainly not going to copy the book word for word

I also don’t have a name for it yet so thats why the blog name is so unoriginal ksjddjdj

ABOUT ME IG?

Im Red, they/them, my main is @coffeefromvoid

And i really fucking love Frankenstein and am upset there aren’t many adaptations that are true to the book, so i made my own.
