Father of Frankenstein is a 1995 novel by Christopher Bram that speculates on the last days of the life of film director James Whale.[1] Whale directed such groundbreaking works as the 1931 Frankenstein and 1933's The Invisible Man and was a pioneer in the horror film genre.
In 1998, Ian McKellen played Whale in the film adaptation of Bram's book, titled Gods and Monsters.[2] The story has also been turned into a British play of the same title as the film which premiered in London at the Southwark Playhouse in February 2015. Another play version written for France is rather based on the novel and will be released in 2017.
