Directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle (28 Days Later), a thrilling production starring both Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch as Victor Frankenstein and his Creature (the two actors alternated between roles) took to the stage at the National Theatre in London back in 2011, and it’s now it’s headed to YouTube… totally free of charge!

Via National Theatre at Home, Frankenstein will stream Thursday, April 30 & Friday, May 1.

See Benedict Cumberbatch play the creature and Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein from 7pm UK time on Thursday 30 April. Available until 7pm UK time on Thursday 7 May. See Jonny Lee Miller play the creature and Benedict Cumberbatch as Victor Frankenstein from 7pm UK time on Friday 1 May. Available until 7pm UK time on Friday 8 May.

You’ll find them only on the National Theatre’s YouTube channel.

“Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered Creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. 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.”
