ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST - SHOOTING A MASTERPIECE
This lecture will discuss some of the reasons why. 'Frankenstein' is one of the most-filmed stories of all time - up there with Sherlock Holmes and Dracula. In the era of artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, IVF treatments, robotics, three-parent families and animal-human interfaces, the lecture will argue that the modern creation myth of 'Frankenstein' - the one where it is the scientist who does the creating - has never been more relevant. This illustrated lecture will celebrate the novel's 200th birthday by exploring its difficult journey into print, and its colourful afterlife on stage, in films, and within everyday culture. Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' was first published on New Year's Day 1818. (lecture followed by screening “Once Upon a Time in the West”)įRANKENSTEIN - the first two hundred years.
