On Saturday I watched a "shot as live" performance of Danny Boyle's "Frankenstein". This was part of the National Theatre Live cannon of work. NTL are doing some really impressive work modernising the theatre, not least of which live & almost live performances being streamed to cinemas all over the country.
One of the unique selling points of "Frankenstein" is that the two lead actors, Benedict Cumberpatch & Jonny Lee Miller both play the role of the creature & the doctor on alternate evenings. This is a device that works very well & gives the theatre goer two very different experiences. Needless to say this is a damn near perfect production. Absolutely loved it!
