Benedict Cumberbatch-Jonny Lee Miller Frankenstein (Both Versions) to Stream Free
London's National Theatre will present free weeklong streams of Danny Boyle's 2011 production of Frankenstein, which features Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.
The two versions of the drama, with Cumberbatch and Miller alternating the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation, will be shown on April 30 and May 1 at 7pm BST (2pm ET) and will then be available to the public on YouTube for a full week for free. The play, adapted from the novel by Mary Shelley, is written by Nick Dear.
Antony & Cleopatra, starring Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo, will also be streamed by the National Theatre, beginning on May 7. Simon Godwin's production ran in 2018.

I love to go to plays, operas, ballets, concerts -- I love to see a team of people bring a story and a world to life. This was absolutely amazing. I got choked up at the opening just envying the people in that audience to be their live, to feel that energy. To play their part of that.
The opening was powerful and Benedict committed! The whole thing was impressive, but the lighting was what gave this life. Which is apropos. Electricity gave the monster life too.
Thanks Bev. More of these creative finds!
