This play is based on Mary Shelley’s 1831 prose piece that has been adapted to a dramatic piece. A Human Endeavour is about any woman who has lived a nightmare of exploitation and oppression.
A Human Endeavour is also about our humanity that is plunging deeper and deeper into crisis. A Human Endeavour is a critique on the over-reaching innovator who fails to think through the consequences of his creation. Though in the book this character is the researcher-doctor-scientist Victor Frankenstein, in the play it is any politician, creator, businessman or spiritual leader who has erred deeply in his failure to see the larger picture.
