Literature teachers, literature lovers
it is the objective of this meeting to interact with participants as to transfer of genre novel/theatre, the imporortance of staging in this version, how both actors play both part in ways that determine differences in the performances and most of all enjoy a highly creative moment in these times of confinement.
Filmed live in 2011 from the stage of the National Theatre in London, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by more than 800,000 people in cinemas around the world.
In this meeting we will watch and analyse how Danny Boyle came with the idea of having two actors (Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller perform each night either the creature or Dr Frankenstein and how the whole play is renewed in the light of the interchange of magnificent performances.
We will run some scenes of both stagings which best represent the main themes in the novel and discuss the subtle difference in interpretations and the mastery of staging such a thrilling novel.
the experience will be much more enjoyable if participants have read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley in either version 1818 or 1830.
