British Embassy sets ‘Frankenstein’ screening at SM Cinema

CEBU, Philippines - National Theatre Live’s thrilling broadcast of “Frankenstein” returns to cinemas for a limited time. The British Embassy Manila and SM City Cebu will bring to the Cebuanos a high-definition screening of award-winning international director Danny Boyle’s “Frankenstein” on March 13, 7:30 p.m. at SM City Cebu’s Cinema One.

“Frankenstein” stars Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role.  The production was a sell-out hit at the National Theatre in 2011, and the broadcast has since become an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.

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 friendless creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.

National Theatre Live is also supported by Arts Council England, SM Tickets, and SM Cinema. Buy your tickets at www.smtickets.com or call SM Tickets at (632)470-2222. (PR) (FREEMAN)
