Comes Alive in U.S. Cinemas This October

Fathom Events, National Theatre Live and BY Experience bring "Frankenstein," first captured live in 2011 from the National Theatre stage in London, back to cinemas for ONE NIGHT ONLY on Tuesday, October 25th. This thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced so far by more than half a million people in cinemas around the world.

"Frankenstein" is a live stage production captured in high-definition and directed by Academy Award?-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire). Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC's Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his Creation. The version to be screened at over 600 cinemas nationally features Cumberbatch as Creature.

Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
