National Theatre Live “Frankenstein”

National Theatre Live presents Frankenstein by Nick Dear, based on the novel by Mary Shelley.

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered Creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. 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.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire, Steve Jobs), this thrilling production features Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC’s Sherlock, The Imitation Game) as the Creature.

Recorded live in London and rebroadcast here on the big screen, in spectacular digital HD.
