In this gripping full-cast radio drama, Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, unlocks the secret of life itself-only to unleash a creature that will haunt him forever.
Adapted from Mary Shelley's masterpiece, this version returns to the author's original vision. While the public came to see Frankenstein as a simple horror story or a warning against science, Shelley herself had more personal motives. In her 1831 preface and in her later novel The Last Man, she explored themes of creation, loss, isolation, and humanity's fragile place in the universe-ideas often overlooked in popular retellings.
Written, narrated, and performed by Michael Henrik Wynn, this adaptation was produced for the educational radio stream Historyradio.org. With rich sound design and a single actor bringing all characters to life, it offers a fresh and faithful journey into one of literature's most enduring stories.
