Frankenstein

By Nick Dear, based on the novel by Mary Shelley

A sublime start to the spooky season.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC’s Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’ s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.

Captured live on stage in 2011, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.

Run time: 135 minutes including intermission

Recommended for adult audiences – Rated equivalent to R

Tickets: $18 standard, $15 senior/student (general admission, seated). Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Seating in the historic Shepherdstown Opera House is limited, advance purchase encouraged. Beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks for sale during the performance (ID required for beer & wine purchase).

OCT 4 – Citizen Kane

Shepherdstown Opera House on September 1, 2024

Friday, October 4, 2024 at 7:00 pm

A Shepherdstown Film Society presentation

Orson Welles’ classic masterpiece.

Alone at his fantastic estate known as Xanadu, 70-year-old Charles Foster Kane dies, uttering only the single word Rosebud. So ends the odyssey of a life…and begins a fabulous tale of the rise to wealth and power, and ultimate fall, of a complex man: A boy abandoned by his parents inherits a fortune, builds a global newspaper empire and aspires to become President of the United States, but he loses everything over an affair with an untalented nightclub singer. This fascinating story unfolds through the eyes of the people important to the tycoon–each showing a different aspect of Citizen Kane.

Frequently regarded as the best American film ever made; winner of an Academy Award for Best Writing, Original Screenplay; and nominated for an additional eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. The story is generally considered to be based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, who fought to prevent the release of the film by RKO, as told in the Golden Globe Award-winning made-for-cable film RKO 281.

Director: Orson Welles
