Soon you 'll be able to enjoy Benedict Cumberbatch (better known as Sherlock) in Danny Boyle’s 2011 Frankenstein stage show. The Esplanade will be screening it (both versions in fact, with him playing either Victor Frankenstein or his monster) as part of its new National Theatre Live series.

If you (like any self-respecting Cumberbitch) want to see both versions, you can do so on two consecutive days on June 28-29, a weekend which we affectionately refer to as "Cumberfest".

For those of you sane folks whose lives don't revolve around a TV detective—good for you!—other household names to catch are Helen Mirren in The Audience and Tom Hiddleston (Loki to some) in Coriolanus. You can also get a package and catch all four at 20% off.
