National Theater Live from Britain will broadcast a video recording of stage drama “Frankenstein” at Shenzhen Grand Theater. The play will be in English with Chinese subtitles.

“Frankenstein” is directed by Danny Boyle with a cast including Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, with the two lead actors alternating the roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature. Cumberbatch and Miller shared both the Olivier Award and London Evening Standard Award for Best Actor for their respective performances.

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.
