I read this on the airplane, and it was a perfect airplane book. I'd seen the movie, so the plot was familiar enough that all the airplane distractions didn't throw me off. Moreau is trying to transform animals into men. He's also the mad scientist, certain that every advancement is always progress. So it's create new species and damn the consequences. Our hero is thrown onto the island and is there when the beast-men turn on Moreau. Exciting, with a warning about the dangers of science that is well ahead of its time. Liked this very much.
PBS performance during pandemic. No live audience, filmed in a warehouse. Entire play was good, but the standout was Jessie Buckley as Juliet. Great performance.
