The Creature: A Character Study | Frankenstein | National Theatre at Home

'You abandoned me.' 'It speaks!' Everyone thinks that the creature is called Frankenstein, but the Doctor's creation is never given the dignity of a name. Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller talk about giving this nameless creature a voice, in the stage adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic Gothic novel.
