Frankenstein
National Theatre Live
A new play by Nick Dear based on the novel by Mary Shelley.
Oscar winner Danny Boyle (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire) returned to the theatre to direct this visionary production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.
Thursday 14th June with Benedict Cumberbatch as Frankenstein
Saturday 16th June with Jonny Lee Miller as Frankenstein
Running time 2 hours (no interval).
