Description
Playbill for the first stage production of Presumption! about the Frankenstein romance.
- Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (English).
- London: Strand, Theatre Royal, 1828.
- PRESUMPTION! Or, The Fate of Frankenstein. Third Night of New Ballad Opera. Theatre Royal, English Opera House, Strand. August 27th, 1828.
- Broadside, playbill, printed letterpress.
The first stage production of Frankenstein was performed at the English Opera House in 1823. The broadside of the first 1823 version advertised the title as Presumption, a New Romance with no mention of Frankenstein. It soon became clear, though, that the name itself was a vital part of the story's appeal. All playbills from this period are extremely scarce.
