Frankenstein at Dendy Portside Cinema
National Theatre Live from Britain’s National Theatre continues its season at Dendy Portside Cinemas with FRANKENSTEIN
Johnny Lee Miller stars as Victor Frankenstein and Benedict Cumberbatch as The Creature, and they are directed by Danny Boyle in his return to the theatre after winning the Best Director Academy Award® for Slumdog Millionaire.
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. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is
adapted for the stage by Nick Dear.
Two shows only!
Saturday 9th April at 1.00pm
Sunday 10th April at 1.00pm
