鈥淔谤补苍办别苍蝉迟别颈苍鈥 enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre, and went on to win awards including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. Benedict Cumberbatch ( Star Trek: Into Darkness , BBC's Sherlock ) and Jonny Lee Miller ( Trainspotting, CBS's Elementary ) alternate in roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Oscar-winner Danny Boyle ( Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire ) directs. The Quick Center鈥檚 2 p.m. broadcast features Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein and Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature. Friday鈥檚 7 p.m. broadcast features Benedict Cumberbatch as Victor Frankenstein and Jonny Lee Miller as the Creature. Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein鈥檚 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.
鈥 贵谤补苍办别苍蝉迟别颈苍,鈥 by Mary Shelley, was published in 1818, since which time there have been nearly 100 adaptations both on screen and in the theatre. Playwright Nick Dear and director Danny Boyle first discussed collaborating on 鈥淔谤补苍办别苍蝉迟别颈苍鈥 in the 1990s, but it wasn鈥檛 until 2004 that they revisited the project. They brought their vision to life in the National Theatre鈥檚 2011 production. Originally broadcast by National Theatre Live in March 2011, it has become a global phenomenon, resulting in three encore screenings in more than 25 countries and being seen by nearly a quarter of a million people.
