Atom User Reviews for National Theatre Live: Frankenstein Encore 2018

The acting was surperb. I just kept thinking how physically exhausted the actors must be after every performance. They put their all into their performances.

Not your grandpa's Monster of Frankenstein. A day later and a scene that is STILL digging at me is Victor's father saying about his human son (loosely quoted) "what monster have I created". wow! Maybe I'm wrong but the writer really gave the monster a chance to be "human"…

What a physical part for the actor playing the creature. I like the idea of changing the actor each night. I do wish Victor Frankenstein character had more scenes with his "creation". You can't help but to feel pity for (it). I enjoyed this versions of the view from the…

Outstanding . The only pretentiousness I see is coming from some of the reviewers . Very Physical performance done gracefully . Loved It !!!

The little details are everything. So much depth.

It was well worth it . I want to see both versions. IF you live it Idaho and want to see this quality this is the way to do it

my only criticism is that the birth scene is too long. It was refreshing to see it from the creatures POV. I also appreciate that it took more from the book than the movies.

I love that the script is based on the book, not the Hollywood version of the story

Amazingly portrayed. Creative set design. Was fascinating to watch.

Intro could have had 10 minutes of trivia not the same 5 over and over. The Edison Frankenstein mentioned in the Trivia would have been a nice 10 minutes add. Lighting was good. Score/Sound poor. The creature was played as angry not good. The intentional hurting of…

I thought it was pretentious claptrap. A great acting exercise but ultimately what I refer to as theatrical masturbation. Sure, it shows off great acting skills, but there's nothing there underneath. The opening is 25 minutes and it could have made the same point in five.…

The writing was at time pretensious as well as the staging. Superbly acted. Whoever decided to film this needs to take a lesson from the Metropolitan Opera productions.

Slow start... Wish it were more true to the original. Victor Frankenstein's character is a bit thin

Enthralling opening, although it was a bit long, I was constantly amazed by the physicality of the role and the awkward development of The Creature. The stage/scenics were very creative and intricate, prompting more than one "wow." Story had some dark turns that I really…

I loved this play!

Can NOT WAIT to see Jonny Lee Miller as the creature next Monday! Spell binding, draining, beautiful production!

It was fantastic, one of my favorite plays i have seen this year! Utterly fantastic!

Marvelous re-telling of the Frankenstein story by great actors.

Quite possibly the best thing I seen this year

We haven't stopped talking about Johnny Lee Miller's interpretation of the Creature, the vastly more interesting character than Victor Frankenstein. The play does justice to Mary Shelley's themes of humanity and cruelty; some of it is hard to watch, but very moving and…

Amazing performance by all actors - go see it if you have the chance!

Incredible story and performance!

Very good play, opening birth scenewas a bit long, but showed great acting skills. Closer to the book than Hollywood's version. I liked that. Victor should have more scenes with his creature.

Beginning of the play was slow, then the action picks up. The ultimate question for me: who is the monster here, Victor Frankenstein or his creation? I am definitely seeing it again.

Absolutely beautiful

Very intense and moving. exceptional cast.

This is the second time I have seen Frankenstein. I've been able to see both versions. It's an intense, amazing production. Well worth going to see.

That was the most amazing “live” performance I have ever seen. I will go see it next year.

I can’t wait for another opportunity to see it with the roles reversed.

The acting was superb, and the sets amazing!

Interesting interpertation. Be prepared to see a play on stage not a live action filmed for the theater. Acting was phenomenal. Now wishing I had see n both of them.

This rendition puts an advanced perspective into Frankenstein. Thought provoking and pushing the envelope!

The cast was phenomenal. Interesting concept giving Frankenstein a voice!
