Frankenstein [Director: Danny Boyle] Oscar winner Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) returns to his theater roots, directing a play by Nick Dear based on Mary Shelly's novel, Frankenstein. Boyle first talked about directing this play nearly a decade ago and reportedly is planning a "large-scale and theatrically and visually ambitious stage production" for his National Theater Debut.

NT Live Series: UMS and the Michigan Theater join forces again to bring high-definition screenings of live theater broadcasts by the National Theater, London. NT Live broadcasts plays produced by the National Theater in London onto cinema screens worldwide. In the US, these "live" screenings are delayed to accommodate the time difference. Broadcasts will feature behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the actors.
