Frankenstein Q/A - a quick recap
Back home after an epic night.
It was AWESOME!
First I saw Frankenstein again for the gazillion times, don’t ask me how many times, I’m guilty as charged and happy to be. Benedict as the Creature was fantastic and JLM was in great form with his Victor, brilliant performance. In the audience were Mark Gatiss, Andrew Scott and David Arnold.
Then the Q/A was absolutely awesome.
Benedict was exhausted and his voice a bit scratchy but he talked and talked about everything, from the method to create the Creature to taking Danny Boyle to a REAL autopsy for the character research of Victor (I’m not kidding :D), he was sometimes unstoppable in the best way. Jonny Lee Miller was equally awesome, talking about the way they worked together, the experience on the stage and so on. Danny Boyle talked about directing, switching from film to theater, etc…
People asked wonderful questions that gave some extra insights on the play and how they worked together.
Cutest moments were when the host showed some videos from the NT Live and the boys were litterally hiding in their hands in embarassment at watching themselves on screen. It led to funny jokes and cute awkwardness, epic :D
Benedict did the best unvoluntary innuendo joke of the evening by saying “I love working with JLM’s Creature”. Followed by silence of win, THEN epic lo
lz
in the whole venue, including Benedict.
I stage doored later, against reason because there were LOTS of people, but Benedict did come out (I just shaked his hand, he looked so tired, poor thing), was genuinely awesome with everyone no matter how EXHAUSTED he was, and watching from afar, people seem to behave overall, even if it was indeed a busy stage door night.
I for my part spent that time at the stage door chatting about movie music with David Arnold, whom I’ve met before (at a screening of Psycho at the ICA) as he was waiting for Benedict to be “free” of the fans, and we geeked out on his soundtrack for Stargate, one of my fav soundtrack of all time. Made. My. Day.
For everyone wondering about the big DRAMA, let’s put it that way. When the fandom is watching your every moves INTENSELY and when the actors and director are PURPOSEDLY ignoring you, I think it’s time to leave forever

Just got back from the Q&A at the National. And oh, my good giddy aunts...
Don't really know where to start. So much bromance with Ben and Johnny. They showed clips of the play and both Ben and Johnny were a tad bashful about performing in the nip but consumate professionals. They kept touching each other, supportive hands on shoulder, that kind of thing. It was so sweet.
They discussed Ben's illness and had a good laugh at the fact that he was necking a beer (a bottle of corona with a slice of lime also muching on a bag of Burt's crisps). Ben said the beer was medicinal and Johnny kept taking it off him and having a swig himself. Very funny moment when Ben said he liked performing with Johnny's 'Creature' and the smutty minded in the audience laughed and misinterpretted this for him....
Ben talked lots in his usual sweet, bumblling, intelligent kind of way. He discussed how Frankenstaein resonates today with the sense of alientation people feel in society and how the Creature fights against it.
When pushed, he wouldn't openly admit to his favourite part to play between Victor and the Creature But dropped heavy hints to the Creature and said we were all intelligent enough to figure it out.
He was very intelligent and compassionate when he described going to watch an autopsy as part of the research for the play.
He wore grey sweats, a white shirt with a pale pinky pattern (possibly floral), trainers and hair still wet from the shower. He looked tired but very, very lovely in a freshly scrubbed kind of way.
I'm sure others will remember more than me and there were loads of photos being taken and filming going on so hopefully kind lj'ers will post here. There were no restrictions and photo/ filming was going on openly with no complaints.

That's theatre, man
Just back from the late night Frankenstein Q&A session in aid of Dramatic Need. It was just as superficial as expected, but amusing. For the people interested in the production, there were some interesting points made, but it rather frustratingly proved my point about the unquestioning lack of thought put into the discussion of science, which is at the heart of the book. Only the most trite aspects of science versus religion were discussed in any depth, once again completely neglecting the horror of the novel.
The most interesting parts of the evening were the actors explaining the rehearsals and the research. They visited two schools for children with severe disabilities and Cumberbatch and Danny Boyle even observed an autopsy. Cumberbatch was dispassionately explaining the experience (in a very Sherlock manner), while the audience 'oohed' in disgust. He paused and asked, “Why do you think it's disgusting?” and explained how relevant it was to the character of Victor. He said it taught him how to be 'professional' around dead bodies, which was queried by the interviewer and reveals quite a lot about Cumberbatch's interpretation of Victor: the dispassionate scientist. Miller, on the other hand, was too squeamish to attend the autopsy excursion and his Victor is the more tortured by the quarrel between his striving intellect and his sensitive soul.
The very trite scene about original sin was played for the audience (among other clips, but it is still a weak moment of the play in my opinion) and a discussion about science and religion ensued, which I think is actually grafted over Shelley's novel, rather than being extracted from it, so I was disappointed to see it discussed in great detail as though it were a deep philosophical exploration. Yes, in the novel, there is little place for God and yes Victor's attempt to discover the secret of animation and replicate it is seen as striving for the knowledge of God ergo replacing him, but what of the horror that ensues when he realises the dilemma he has dug himself into? The novel is no simple treatise on the unnecessity of a creator God, it is a complex illustration of the scientist's condition, of responsibility, of moral grey areas, of the holiness of all life, but it must still be destroyed. I love the scene in the book where Victor realises he has created his own mortal enemy and they are now destined to destroy each other. These lines are lifted directly into the play, but the context is lost. The book is not about whether people are born bad, the book is about taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions or, in the creature's case, learning to do so. The fixation on original sin I can only surmise comes from the playwright's modern experience of religion, in contrast to Shelley's context. The fact that Danny Boyle so readily identified with it is evidence that the play was heavily influenced by modern disdain for religion and faith in science.
Of course these issues were never going to be discussed at a short question and answer session, and it was very amusing regardless. Jonny Lee Miller was hilarious and Cumberbatch rambled charmingly. Amusing moments included the interviewer overhearing an audience member walking into the theatre this evening saying, “I hope it's Miller as the creature tonight because I want to see him in the buff.” For the following few minutes, he gleefully acted flattered, once again showing how well he can use his body to tell a story (which, for a primarily screen actor, is impressive). They were obviously unsettled by seeing themselves on screen. The first time a clip was shown, Cumberbatch and Miller were commenting to each other and holding their heads in their hands and such antics. Miller explained in some depth that it was slightly wrong seeing it on film, when everything they had rehearsed was geared towards the live audience and the space in the Olivier theatre. This was when he uttered the quote I have immortalised as the title of this blog entry; “That's theatre, man.”
