Filmed live on the stage of the National Theatre in London, this thrilling production has become an international sensation, experienced by more than 800,000 people in cinemas around the world.
Directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), this production features Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Imitation Game) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Prime Suspect) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.
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 increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Frankenstein is a National Theatre Live stage-to-screen production. Learn more here.
