Frankenstein: A Modern Myth

Channel 4 has commissioned Lone Star Productions in collaboration with the National Theatre to make a one-off documentary, Frankenstein: A Modern Myth, that looks at myth of Frankenstein through the prism of Danny Boyle's sensational new sell-out production of Frankenstein at the National Theatre, featuring exclusive access to rehearsals and interviews with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, who alternate the roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature, and with Danny Boyle and writer Nick Dear. It also features cult film director John Waters: "I'm sympathetic to monsters, and this was the first one I came across as a child".
