Ooh, so interested to read your thoughts on Frankenstein! I thought as an ensemble production, JLM as the Creature works much better. BC tends to make it All About Him, which is amazing in itself, but not good for the production *g*. Yes, I thought the rape fit with the subtext of the play and wasn't gratuitous - wasn't strictly necessary, but did serve the plot. Naomie Harris was wonderful - she and the old man whose name I know but who escapes me right now were the high point of the rest of the actors.

I was so enthused about Frankenstein I have an entire tag here (I've seen the BC-Creature casting twice, and the reverse once), or commentary on the differences between the two versions here, just in case you were interested *g*
