🚨 JUST ANNOUNCED! 🚨 On Friday, October 23 at 7:30 P.M., The House of the Seven Gables and @capeanncinema present a special screening of the National Theatre (UK) production of “Frankenstein.”

Directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle. Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the creature and Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein. Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

This event takes place in The House of the Seven Gables’ Visitor Center at 115 Derby Street, Salem, MA. Tickets are $25 general admission and $20 for Gables members. This production includes a scene of sexual violence, moderate injury detail, and a moderate sex reference. Age guidance 15+.

For tickets, visit 7Gables.org/events Close-up of two men with stitched scars on their faces, promoting National Theatre Live's Frankenstein play. by @h7gables
