Cavendish’s story is one of the first published works of science fiction, predating Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein by over 150 years. It was written principally as a commentary on the biggest scientific discovery in England at that time; travel to the other side of the globe. 359 years later, it will have its first performance in America.
