Danny Boyle (Director)
Biography
Daniel Francis Boyle (born 20 October 1956)[1] is an English director and producer. The writer, nick dear, and the director, Danny Boyle, molded the play around the Creature’s point of view, stripping away the various thematic structures present in the book. They preserved a more linear form, choosing to focus on philosophical themes of existentialism, human tendencies and limitations. Perhaps a reflection of the Creature himself, whose sole desire in life is to be a good man and to have a mate to share his earthly existence with.

Coventry Belgrade Theatre:
This classic horror story is lovingly depicted thanks to some superb acting. Eilidh Loan narrates throughout as Mary Shelley, as she talks us through her thought processes of bringing her nightmare monster to life and into her book. I loved this very traditional take on the story of Frankenstein, his pursuit of forbidden knowledge, his quest to create life in his laboratory and the subsequent consequences when his creation is left to roam this earth alone.
