From Oscar-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle
This sell-out show, originally screened at Riverside in 2011, is back by popular demand!
Danny Boyle, Oscar-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire, returns to the theatre with an eclectic new adaptation of 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 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.
