Stage play 'Frankenstein' starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller will stream for free courtesy of National Theater at Home.
Danny Boyle's Frankenstein will be streamed in full and free on the official YouTube channel of the National Theater.
The play was originally staged back in 2011 with actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller, who both played Sherlock Holmes in separate television adaptations, alternated playing the roles of Frankenstein and his Creature.
It is a stage adaptation of Mary Shelley's seminal science fiction masterpiece, Frankenstein and is directed by award-winning director Danny Boyle.
The play was also broadcast to cinemas around the world as part of the National Theater Live program.
