FRANKENSTEIN

by Nick Dear based on the novel by Mary Shelley

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.

NT Live’s much-loved broadcast returns to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s novel.
