* DisabledInTheAdaptation: The Creature is far more physically awkward and unrefined than in the novel, though still capable of great strength and feats. In both interpretations it talks and moves similarly to a stroke victim relearning how to do so, although this is emphasised more in Cumberbatch's Creature.

* AdaptationDistillation: The play does away with the FramingDevice with Captain Walton from Mary Shelley's {{Literature/Frankenstein}} and focuses on the relationship between Victor and the Creature. It also keep's Victor's age correct, and like the novel, leaves how he brought the Creature to life vague. It's probably the truest adaptation of Shelley's novel. The major things omitted besides Walton, are Victor's time at the University and Justine the maid who ends framed and killed for William's death.
