Directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle, this production sees Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller 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.

Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy is captured live from the Bridge Theater in London. Gwendoline Christie, Oliver Chris, David Moorst and Hammed Animashaun lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom.

Directed by Nicholas Hytner, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” saw the Bridge Theater become a forest — a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.
