Doctor Stein, Edinburgh Fringe Play
Posted by on August 15th,2007
Mr Stephen writes to let me know that he is involved with a play being shown at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival until the 18th of this month called “Dr. Stein” by Leitheatre. Telling the tale of what happened after the end of Ms Shelly’s story of Doctor Frankenstein, where the Doctor of the tale finds his way to that most murky, and yet ‘educational’ of cities – Edinburgh. With a history of internationally renowned medical research and “no questions asked” research specimens, the good Doctor fits right in. Reading a review of the show, it seems that this tale takes the far lighter side of the Doctor, and it should be classed as a comedy. Above, an image from the set showing just some of the pleasantly Steampunk items that the Doctor fits his laboratory with, and I am informed that should you attend the play and wish to take a closer look at any of the props, you should reveal yourself as a fan of Steampunk to one of the technical crew at the interval.
