Frankenstein | Official Trailer | National Theatre Live

Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternate role as Victor Frankenstein and his creature.
--
Captured live in 2011 from the National Theatre stage in London, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC’s Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.

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.

Please upload it again on youtube. At least for 1day, not a week. Please I would love to watch it again

[EmiliaGarciaH]

Please National Theatre Live play this magnificent piece of work one more time! That's all we ask from the bottom of our hearts

[stellatmv]

Once more! If you could. 🙏 Mesmerizing experience. And.. consider Hamlet, too.

Ohhh Cumberbatch❤. How about Hamlet? I saw that in a cinema during one of the tours and I cannot stop thinking about it because it was so great. Also, DVDs would be amazing.

SO mad that I missed this because I was stuck at work. Please upload it again!!

Since I live in Korea I missed the YouTube streaming version of Frankenstein. I'm begging you. Please can you show this wonderful stage on YouTube once more?😢

[wendyrual]

[Autistic_Pixel]

Seriously need to stream live theater shows during covid. Would so pay to see this.

[JoannaLaRose]

I'd loved to have seen this live!

[dianewalker]

Please tell me you are going to release this again on You Tube! Once with Benedict as the monster and once with Jonny as the monster would be a dream!!!

[susanatorres]

Thanks for sharing this masterpiece! I loved both performances soo much!

[adriennehunt]

Does this trailer mean we can expect another wonderful production on You Tube? I missed it the first time around.

Recently, I took an online theater class with a professor from UCLA in which she discussed and showed several scenes from the staged version of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". I was spellbound. Disappointed, too, that I had not watched when you offered it this year online. I did not realize that Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is very different than the Boris Karloff film version I grew up with. Please show this film series again online. I am not ready to return to theaters or cinemas for the near future.

I’m so sad I missed it last time!! Is there any way you could re-show at least one version?? I’d be happy to pay x

[Dopeydora]

I saw this show a month or so ago and it was excellent.

[sebastianfernandezlara]

Please, if you could upload it one more time. That would be fantastic.

[Discount_TV]

Why do they keep re-uploading trailers for content that we can't even view?

[ryrdsxn]

I missed this production. Please consider uploading again?

[Serenity]

I wanna see this again! Please post it again?
