Fathom Events, BY Experience, and National Theatre Live will offer U.S. screenings of director Marianne Elliot’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and director Danny Boyle's Frankenstein.
Curious Incident, which was originally recorded in 2012, will be seen in movie theatres June 12 at 7 PM local time. Based on Mark Haddon's novel, the play follows 15-year-old Christopher, who has an extraordinary brain that makes him exceptional at math while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. His detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
Boyle’s 2011 staging of Frankenstein will be presented in cinemas in two versions: October 22 at 7 PM with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature and Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein and October 29 at 7 PM with Miller as the Creature and Cumberbatch as Frankenstein.
Both productions were captured live from London's National Theatre during their original runs.
Tickets for U.S. screenings of all NT Live titles can be purchased at FathomEvents.com or participating theatre box offices.
