Oscar winner Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 127 Hours, 28 Days Later) directs a sensational production with Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness, BBC’s “Sherlock”) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, CBS’s “Elementary,” Showtime’s “Dexter”) alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Frankenstein was written by Nick Dear based on the novel by Mary Shelley.
Frankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre in 2011 and went on to win several awards, including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Cumberbatch and Miller.
Synopsis:
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.
