Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting", "Slumdog Millionaire"), "Frankenstein" features Benedict Cumberbatch ("12 Years A Slave", "Star Trek: Into Darkness") and Jonny Lee Miller ("Trainspotting", "Mansfield Park") alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation.
The production was a sell-out hit at the National Theatre in 2011, and the broadcast has since become an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.
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.
