Oh my God, where will it be? And when?
It's a cinema in Bochum (near my hometown in Germany) on April 16th...

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
I am looking forward very much to watching them again. Fascinating to compare their approaches to both parts.

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
Glad it know it will be available. I've been curious about the play for a long time and I never got to see it in the cinema.
Clueing for looks.

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
And Benedict as Dr Frankenstein the next day.
Did anybody see the King Lear that Andrew's in?
It was on Sunday night, but too late for me to stay up.

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
I didn't catch, but I've seen it before. It's lovely having all this stuff, but I'm struggling to keep up! Still haven't finished watching Twelfth Night!

Oh that's good.
I also watched Colin Morgan in The Tempest and he was just divine!

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
Just read here that this production, as well as Benedict's performance of Hamlet, are available on Amazon Prime now. But only for Ireland and the UK! It's been a while since I've seen a headline that excited me and then quickly become disappointed when I read the rest of the article. But it's nice for those fans. I'm not usually a subscriber anyway, I'll just be getting another 30-day free trial when the next season of Mrs. Maisel comes out. But I would have added this to my list of things to watch that month (whenever that will be) if it were available worldwide. I can only hope one day they'll expand it.

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
I always try and avoid Prime like the plague!
I have seen Frankenstein a few times, although it is brilliant...

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
So have I. Brilliant.
My son even has Prime but since we are in Germany I cannot watch "The Courier" which is a shame since cinemas have been closed from November until now as well.

I think it's the Courier that's available on DVD now...
I never dare risk that my machine is multi-regional!

Yes, but you can only buy it with a US credit card. I tried, believe me.
