Frankenstein
Danny Boyle's smash hit stage production returns to cinema screens

British Council Bulgaria, Cinema City and Varna Summer International Theatre Festival, in partnership with Sofia Municipality and Programata Cultural Guide, present

Frankenstein
a new play by Nick Dear based on the novel by Mary Shelley

Watch the trailer

Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (127 Hours, Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) returned to the theatre to direct this visionary production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.

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.

Suitable only for 15yrs+

Frankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre, and went on to win awards including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.

First broadcast to cinemas in 2011, don't miss this second chance to catch Danny Boyle's electrifying stage production as encore screenings take place across the UK and around the world from June 2012.

Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch alternated the roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature throughout the show's run at the National Theatre. Many cinemas will offer the chance to see both of these versions.
