Danny Boyle to direct a stage version of Frankenstein

Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle is to direct a stage version of Frankenstein at the National Theatre next Winter.

Boyle directed plays at the Royal Court and the Royal Shakespeare Company earlier in his career.

The National Theatre’s Artistic Director Nicholas Hytner commented – “What will be exciting will be to see how a theatre director with a really recognisable personal style has been altered by what he’s discovered about himself over 15 years making movies.”

The play is by Nick Dear and is based on the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
