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. Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
This production stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Dr. Strange, The Imitation Game) as the Creature, filmed live at the Royal National Theatre in London in 2011. Writer Nick Dear aims to tell the story, at least initially, from the creature’s point of view. “We do start with the moment of creation,” he says, “but not told from the perspective of the scientists, which is how it’s usually told; we tell it from the perspective of the experiment rather than the experimenter.
“A great deal of what we’re trying to do in this show is to explore what it feels like to be that experiment.”
