Frankenstein (1931)

Experience the London premiere of a cinematic masterpiece transformed. Grammy‑nominated composer Michael Shapiro has turned James Whale’s legendary 1931 horror classic *Frankenstein* into a contemporary cinematic event with a thrilling, critically acclaimed score that blends the original film’s dialogue‑laden sound with a haunting, emotionally charged soundtrack performed live by the world‑famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Presented by the composer himself at Cadogan Hall, each screening is heightened by a unique Q&A where you can hear Shapiro discuss the creative process behind the haunting melodic layers praised by *The New York Times* and praised by Boris Karloff’s daughter, Sara Karloff, who called the score "absolutely magnificent." Commissioned in 2001 and shown in over 75 sold‑out productions worldwide, this unforgettable theatrical experience will only be offered in two performances. The British Film Institute rates *Frankenstein* ‘PG’, so parental guidance is recommended for minors.
