Movie Background

National Theatre Live: Frankenstein

Childlike in his innocence yet monstrous in appearance, Frankenstein's bewildered creature is cast into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Enduring cruelty at every turn, the isolated, increasingly desperate and embittered Creature vows to locate his creator and strike a terrifying bargain. The tale weaves urgent questions of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development, and the nature of good and evil into a thrilling and deeply disturbing saga.
