When Frankenstein was written, people were very concerned about grave robbing. People would steal corpses and sell them to anatomists – doctors who studied anatomy of the human body – because they could not get enough bodies legally. You can still see watch towers, mortsafes and cages that were used to stop the grave robbers. Further reading and listening This engaging and orientated classroom play script of Frankenstein includes the famous storyline of a young man who thinks he can change the world, by creating better and improved human beings. But instead creates a living monster, who has a mind of his own. Victor is obviously a talented scientist and highly intelligent but does he have the qualities required to be successful?

The Creature hides in an old cottage which is inhabited by a married couple, Felix and Agatha, and Felix's elderly, blind father, De Lacey. The Creature comes to care for them and brings them food in secret. De Lacey finds and befriends the Creature and, over the course of a year, teaches him to speak, read and write. The Creature reads Victor's journal and learns about his creator. De Lacey also teaches the Creature about love, and the Creature dreams of having a female partner. One day, Felix and Agatha come home and find the Creature; much as the Creature had feared, they are repulsed by him and drive him out. Enraged, the Creature sets fire to the cottage, killing the entire family. He swears revenge on Victor for bringing him into a world that hates him.
