An Evening with Danny Boyle's Frankenstein: National Theatre LIVE
http://blogs.suntimes.com/foreignc/2011/03/an-evening-with-frankenstein.html
Fabulously long detailed article with lots of photos!
The conversations which take place throughout the play, between Victor and his creation, are nothing short of enthralling. With each encounter, they've raised the stakes and in the process, become like two sides of the same coin with each guilty of the other sins while being the source of them.
........................"The Olivier Theatre exploded then with the sound of wild applause, and we watched as the supporting actors appeared again on stage to accept and acknowledge the praise - the loudest reserved for Benedict Cumberbatch, who reemergence was met with a mighty roar. And rightly so, as damn, but he can act. And I'm sorely tempted now to buy another ticket to see Jonny Lee Miller take his turn as the Creature. For it's a hell of a part, and I gather he's equally as brilliant in the role."
YAY Benedict!
