Frankenstein, the Play

A few weeks ago we went to see a play based on Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, with the author (of the play, not the novel) playing Frankenstein's monster. The play was interesting if not overwhelming. The actor/author chose to play the opening scene of the monster coming to life in the nude.  I thought about this for a while and decided it was inappropriate. After all, anyone who has seen a picture of Frankenstein's monster knows that he never appears without a stitch.
