GMALL Presents National Theatre Live’s “Frankenstein”

MANCHESTER, Vt. – Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning is excited to bring back National Theatre Live, the best of British theatre broadcast, to cinemas around the world. This screening of “Frankenstein” is directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle, and features Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller in the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation, respectively. Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale, based on the novel by Mary Shelley. For more information, please call our office at 802-867-0111, or visit www.greenmtnacademy.org. This screening is offered in partnership with the Southern Vermont Arts Center. The film is distributed by BYExperience.
