As BroadwayWorld previously reported, The National Theatre will soon air Danny Boyle's production of Frankenstein, which will be streamed live as part of National Theatre at Home; the new initiative to bring content to the public accessed from their homes during coronavirus.

It was recently announced that the National Theatre will stream Danny Boyle's 2011 production of Frankenstein, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, as part of its National Theatre at Home initiative. Cumberbatch recorded a special message for fans, ahead of the stream.

National Theatre Live makes its celebrated 2011 production available free for online platforms but, rather like Frankenstein's Creature itself, its reviving isn't without its issues.

Back in 2011, it was nigh-on impossible to get a ticket for the National Theatre's production of Frankenstein. You may be forgiven for thinking the fact that Danny Boyle was directing the show was enough of a draw, but the news that Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch were not only starring in it, but also alternating the roles of Frankenstein and The Creature, sent fans into a frenzy. As part of the hugely successful run of National Theatre At Home shows, we are now gifted with seeing both versions again.

The National Theatre has announced the next two productions that will be streamed live on YouTube every Thursday at 7PM BST via the National Theatre's YouTube channel as part of National Theatre at Home; the new initiative to bring content to the public accessed from their homes during coronavirus.
