Based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Haddon and directed by Tony Award® winning director Marianne Elliot, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time” follows fifteen-year-old Christopher. He stands beside Mrs. Shears’ dead dog, which has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at math while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. His detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (“Slumdog Millionaire,” “Trainspotting”), “Frankenstein” has become an international sensation, seen by over 750,000 people in cinemas around the world. In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s world-famous novel, “Frankenstein” makes its way back to cinemas. In this new adaptation, Olivier Award winners Benedict Cumberbatch (“12 Years A Slave,” “Sherlock”) and Jonny Lee Miller (“Elementary” on CBS, “Trainspotting”) alternate in the roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature. National Theatre Live filmed “Frankenstein” twice so audiences could experience Cumberbatch and Miller in each role.
“We are proud to once again partner with BY Experience and NT Live to bring these two stunning productions to audiences nationwide,” Fathom Events Chief Content and Programming Officer Gordon Synn said. “Both of these live recordings are great examples of the West End’s top performances. Theatre fans now have the opportunity to witness beautiful stage adaptations of two highly-acclaimed novels in their local cinema.”
