Jump to navigationJump to searchHannan, Charles. "The Electric Man." Nov. 1906, New Royalty Theatre, London. London: Sameul French, 1910.
Short play: farce. Young man inherits what appears to be an identical twin, but the brother is mute and what we'd call a robot: a mechanism run by electricity. The mechanical twin is "clumsy and destructive," and the plot turns on mistaken identities. Cited in Appendix to R. Willingham's Science Fiction and the Theatre, our source here, and whom we quote.
