A bit of fun Constantine! I worship her genius. Since Poor Things came out (which I highly recommend) as a movie , I have been looking back at her life and works. Her influence is monumental but not really fully appreciated or acknowledged. Back in another time I saw the Living Theatre’s Frankenstein, which was an incredible contribution to the ideas and a great inspiration to the experimental theatre of the ‘60’s. I think all that go and see Poor Things should read your summary.
Thanks, Peter, appreciate that! I haven’t seen Poor Things but I’ll check it out. I drew for this mostly from Charlotte Perkins’ writings, especially the book Romantic Outlaws, a bio about both Marys. It’s a great read (or in my case, a great listen). I haven’t seen Living Theatre’s Frankenstein either. I also heard there’s a great theatre production with Benedict Cumberbatch. One version he plays Dr Frankenstein and the other he plays the creature

So good.
