In collaboration with National Theatre Live, Garter Lane Arts Centre presents: Frankenstein by Nick Dear
Note: This is a screening of the theatrical performance that was performed in the Olivier Theatre from February-May 2011
Garter Lane Arts Centre is delighted to collaborate with National Theatre Live, bringing the best of live Theatre to our cinema screen.
Danny Boyle directs this beloved classic based on the gothic novel from Mary Shelley and adapted by Nick Dear. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller.
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.
