NT Live / National Theatre of London: FRANKENSTEIN
With Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature, and Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein.
by Nick Dear
based on the novel by Mary Shelley.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), featuring Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC’s Sherlock) as the Creature, and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) as Victor Frankenstein.

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.

Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale. Captured live on stage in 2011, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.

Runtime 2h15m (no intermission).

Tickets*: $18 members; $15 students; $20 general.
*The final ticket price will include a service fee
Note: Online tickets automatically shut off 30 minutes before the performance start time.
