    Frankenstein on stage By Amie and Tiana

    By Tiana and Amie


    Scene Description-Act 1 Scene 2 

    In this scene we see the characters Frankenstein, Elizabeth and


    Clerval.
    We find out that Elizabeth (Victor's sister) and Victor’s
    (Frankenstein) father is dying.
     Elizabeth is trying to get Frankenstein to come back and see his dad
    before he dies but Frankenstein is busy working on his experiment.
    Clerval (Frankenstein assistant/best friend) figures out
    Frankenstein's plan to bring the monster to life but it's too late. 
    Frankenstein creates Monster.
    Clerval Costumes

    Clerval is Frankenstein's best friend and assistant.


    We have decided to dress him in a suit. 
    We've chosen a suit as it represents completeness and
    conformity since he likes to stick to the rules. 
    Typically people that wear suits are organised. 
    This fits Clervals character because he is a best friend
    to Frankenstein who helps and pitches in his ideas.
    Frankenstein costume

    As Frankenstein does experiments we've put him in an


    apron. 
    This shows the audience that he's busy and prepared
    for anything. 
    We've also made him dirty and unhygienic as he's been
    working on this experiment for quite some time and
    won't be able to take care of those basic needs.
    Elizabeth-Costume

    During the 1818s, the year Frankenstein was based in


    these types of dresses were popular amongst ladies.
     We're going to put Elizabeth in this style dress as well
    as making it pink because pink symbolizes caring,
    acceptance, femininity and calm.
    These are all the adjectives that describe her in the
    play as when she was pleading Frankenstein to come
    see their dad.iuuy5rfrf
    Setting

    We would set this on a proscenium stage.


    For this scene we would have it looking like a gloomy laboratory
    because he is obsessed with experimenting.
    The characters would be set centre stage and then have the
    creature under the sheet in downstage right.
    We would do this so the characters are the focus but there is a
    mysterious creature under the sheet capturing the audience's
    attention and intriguing them to see what it is.
    Props

    I want the props we use to represent what a science


    laboratory would look in the 1818s. 
    These would include things such as:
    • Beakers
    • Test tubes
    • Wooden Table
       
      
    Lighting

    The lighting in this scene will be dimmed.


    This is so the room is dark and gloomy making the audience
    experience mystery. 
    This makes a sad tone instead of bright and happy which would not
    be what we're trying to make the audience feel.
    There will also be a spotlight centre stage highlighting the
    characters and keeping the monster hidden in the shadows.
    We would also have the light shining up to make the
    monster's shadow look bigger.
    Music

    We will have background music that won't be the main focus of the
    scene.
    We will have slow graceful music to make it more like a sad scene.
    (Eg slow instrumental piano)
    Towards the end it will go louder and more dramatic when he
    creates the monster.
    (Eg drums or violin)
    Position the audience

    The line: “Your father, he’s very ill ... you’d better come home tomorrow!”
    said by Elizabeth.
    Positions the audience to be sad since the father is dying and confused why
    Frankenstein has not been answering the letters.
    It will also make the audience feel that Frankenstein does not care about
    anything apart from the experiment (self absorbed)
    It will also make the audience feel intrigued when they see a creature under
    a blanket and then surprised when he creates a monster and shocked when
    the creature comes to life.
    Theme

    Science the creation of the monster.


    Secrecy and the dangers of secrets since Frankenstein did not tell
    anybody about making the monster.
    Family since his dad is dying, and his sister came to tell him but he
    didn’t want to go.
    Sacrifice as he does not want to sacrifice his experiment to see his
    dad.
    Thankyou for listening
