Here's when you can watch Danny Boyle’s 2011 stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein on Sky Arts

Jonny Lee Miller stars.

Tuesday 4 March at 9pm, make sure you’re watching Sky Arts for the free-to-air premiere of Danny Boyle’s 2011 stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic chiller Frankenstein.

Sky Arts presents director Danny Boyle’s 2011 stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic chiller. Directed by Boyle, audiences witnessed Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch trade roles on different nights, alternating between Victor Frankenstein and his horrific creation. With both performances showing on Sky Arts over two weeks, Jonny Lee Miller takes on the role of the monster this time around, with Naomie Harris also starring as Frankenstein’s betrothed, Elizabeth.

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.
