Slowly I learnt the ways of humans: how to ruin, how to hate, how to debase, how to humiliate. And at the feet of my master I learnt the highest of human skills, the skill no other creature owns: I finally learnt how to lie. Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, adapted for the stage by Nick Dear, premiered at the National Theatre, London, in February 2011.

圖書標籤: 劇本 戲劇 讀書動機不純 英國 Frankenstein BC 蛋疼腦殘粉 英語
真心覺得劇本比小說寫得好!
評分其實劇本寫的真一般。為瞭為找一句颱詞看完瞭整本。我就知道那句藏在middle of nowhere.
評分又重新精讀瞭一遍,纔發現裏麵一些用詞的美妙。
評分不知道是我太久沒讀劇本瞭還是怎麼迴事,覺得這個劇本寫得不怎麼樣啊……但基於故事本身就是那種戳我心槽的,還是讀得幾次內奔。而且聽著OST對著both Frankenstein and Creature腦補缺[劃掉]自攻自受[/劃掉]好帶感。迫切想看NTlive重播和documentary法蘭法蘭看在你跟博士的姓有一半一樣的份上快給力一點嘛TAT哦,還有今天到手這本似乎是再版的纔77頁,我還特地對照瞭一下掃描版,原來排版略微緊湊瞭一點點,從15頁開始就比第一版節約瞭版麵,內容是一模一樣的。順便吐個槽:後麵那四頁空白紙是要留給腦殘粉們給缺缺簽名用麼?
