Sky Arts presents director Danny Boyle's 2011 stage adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic chiller. Directed by Boyle, audiences witnessed Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch trade roles on different nights, alternating between Victor Frankenstein and his horrific creation. With both performances showing on Sky Arts over two weeks, Jonny Lee Miller takes on the role of the monster this time around, with Naomie Harris also starring as Frankenstein's betrothed, Elizabeth.
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.
The second performance of director Danny Boyle's take on Mary Shelley's classic gothic horror story sees the roles reversed, as Jonny Lee Miller takes on the part of Vitor Frankenstein, and Benedict Cumberbatch becomes his abominable creation.
