a bit of Frankenstein

some enterprising soul has edited together on youtube a short "impression" of Danny Boyle's Frankenstein, starring our two Sherlocks, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. 

I dearly hope the National Theatre will release this excellent piece on DVD or digital release.  It is a shame to reserve it only for showings at select theatres.

I saw the version of the filmed play  with Cumberbatch as the Creature.  He is amazing with the physicality, and JLM is an excellent Victor.  They took this adaptation all the way into the heart of Mary Shelley's great work.  I spent a huge chunk of my life studying the Shelleys, and I approve of Danny Boyle's adaptation.  :D
