[@laurenconrad1799]

*A stage production of one of the most foundational science fiction texts in literature history "You had my curiosity..." Starting Benedict Cumberbatch as a driven man who plays fast and loose with ethics and moral implications "But now you have my attention"

[@genetenz]

Shut up

[@CarolineATorge]

It is an amazing show!

[@laurenconrad1799]

I've seen it three times total (Benedict as the creature twice and Johnny as the creature once.) It's as amazing as you'd hope it would be and then 10 times better.

[@justintime6901]

Not that surprising. he's famous for playing intellectual upper-classmen. Not complaining tho.

[@mauricioguzman4638]

OMG! THE TWO BEST SHERLOCKS TOGETHER!

[@meseigot7glambert193]

YES, can´t believe it! 😊

[@GlenLauderdale]

I’m glad that both versions are being presented. It’ll be interesting to see how different each performance will be.

[@emmybm15]

I caught the version where Benedict Cumberbatch played the monster years ago and I enjoyed it so so much. Now i get to watch both versions and I’m just so excited at thought of it!

[@clairestordahl6160]

SAME!!!

[@walksonair]

I was DYING to see this years ago when I heard that Johnny and Ben would switch between playing Dr. Frankenstein and the monster... WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@mymulticolouredyouniverse]

I saw both versions when it was shown at the cinema and it was one of the best things I've ever seen! I can't wait to watch it again on KZbin 😍

[@Nell19891]

Same!! I can’t wait to see it again, I’m so happy they’re showing it!x

[@ALLforLOVE13]

I only saw Benedict's monster in the cinema so now I have a chance to see him as the scientist.

[@karenhayes5069]

Saw Cumberbatch as the Monster & was blown away, will be interesting to see how Miller portrays him....cant wait to see both productions.....thank you NT at home x

[@karenhayes5069]

@TheChillindude44 think I will be watching both & interested to see which I prefer & why!

[@ASLBec]

@TheChillindude44Watch both! It's worth it!

[@sheilacampbell7701]

OMG can't wait for this! Saw both actors as the the monster and Johnny Lee Miller was my favourite - DANNY BOYLE can we have more of this please!!

[@phdeegee]

I agree Sheila, I am a huge Benedict fan and while both are great in the role, Johnny was also my favorite monster, Benedict was my favorite Frankenstein

[@alexandra9825]

I just finished Love Never Dies and now another theater puts out free shows? finally I can watch some stuff I'll probably never see live

[@sebastianfernandezlara4815]

Should be always available!

[@coleyblossoms1051]

I would literally cry if they put on the Lehman Trilogy.

[@bentreri]

CANNOT WAIT!! I missed the original broadcast years ago and have regretted it ever since. This is truly ticking one off the list of performances to see!

[@florapeng9139]

Please release it again~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really with I could've watched it in the theatre. It's amazing!

[@chrisdalley6130]

Just finished watching this....it was amazing...I cried...I laughed...I cried again. I will remember the feelings it gave me long after life goes back to normality. I feel blessed to have been given the chance to watch this masterpiece.

[@kaitlinmills6412]

I can't wait to watch this!!! I love Benedict and also study Frankenstein at school and now college, so I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THIS but didn't get to see it live so YAY!

[@FullMoonHowl]

I do love that having the two male leads exchange who is Frankenstein and who is the creature is a fantastic mise en scene for the inevitable question: who is the monster?

[@retrospectivewanderer5408]

FINALLY!!! I purchased tickets to see this when it was shown in Brisvegas years ago, but the theatre cancelled the show because there was a horrible storm and the theatre was flooded and destroyed 😫😫😫. It was never shown here again. So I finally get to see it 🥰🥰🥰

[@SharlzG]

I'm so excited that you're doing both versions! 👌

[@TheYTSucks]

I was Zero Cool! Johnny Lee Miller....now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time....a long time.

[@gabbylikeskicks]

I could only dream of seeing these performed live. And now I'm here. About to see this and a bunch of other plays, at the safety of my home. Thanks to the National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, and The Show Must Go On!

[@Panphie]

Best performance ever! Both versions. Will watch for sure!

[@creativeorstrange]

I cannot wait to see this again! I saw the original screening cinemas and then watched the encore showing in cinemas. This is my favourite theatre production of all time! It is so philosophical and human - it moves me to tears.
