In 1826, French playwrights Jean-Toussaint Merle and Antony Béraud cowrote the play Le monstre et le magicien as a stage adaptation of British author Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein. This English translation by British playwright John Kerr, called The Monster and Magician: Or the Fate of Frankenstein, premiered four months later on October 2 at the West London Theatre.
