What to expect at Frankenstein on Trial in London
London’s fascination with reanimation helped shape the fears behind Frankenstein. In 1803, crowds watched Italian scientist Giovanni Aldini electrify the body of executed murderer George Forster at the Royal College of Surgeons—an experiment that echoed the era’s darkest scientific ambitions. More than 200 years later, The Jury Experience asks London audiences to return to that unsettling question: how far is too far?
This new London script turns Mary Shelley’s story into a futuristic courtroom thriller, with Victor Frankenstein accused of crimes that may be worse than anyone imagined. As fresh evidence comes to light, the jury must decide whether Victor Frankenstein should be held accountable for the life he created—and the devastation that followed. Is Victor responsible for the horror he unleashed, and can destroying a mind ever be justice?
