Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle has come up with a radical vision for his stage version of Frankenstein by casting two stars - -Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller - to play the much misunderstood creature.

曾經憑借《貧民富翁》一片登上奧斯卡寶座的英國導演丹尼·博伊爾即將帶來一部現代版的舞臺劇《科學怪人福蘭肯斯坦》，領銜的將有兩位實力派男主角，包括因主演BBC迷你劇版《神探夏洛克》而走紅的Benedict Cumberbatch以及安吉麗娜茱莉前夫約翰尼·李·米勒。

The actors will play Mary -Shelley’s literary creations - the monster and his creator Dr Frankenstein - on alternate nights at the National Theatre when performances begin in early February on the building’s Olivier stage.

《科學怪人福蘭肯斯坦》由Mary Shelley原著，而兩位男主角將輪換扮演劇中怪物和弗蘭肯斯坦博士兩角，舞臺劇將于明年2月在國家劇院上演。

‘They’ll share it,’ Boyle told me exclusively. ‘One night one will be Frankenstein, while the other will play his creator Victor,’ he said, adding that sharing the role will keep the production fresh.

導演博伊爾透露：“他們將分擔兩個角色，比方一個晚上一個人演弗蘭肯斯坦，另一個人就演他造出來的Victor?！彼硎竟餐椦輹屨繎虻闹谱鞒錆M新鮮感。

Also, the show - a major coup for the National and artistic chief Nicholas Hytner - will be told from the monster’s point of view.

同時這部舞臺劇將從怪物的角度來演繹，相信會帶來不同的視角。
