19世纪初，玛丽·雪莱写下了第一部科幻小说《弗兰肯斯坦》：维克多·弗兰肯斯坦即将离开家人和他的伊丽莎白去上大学，就在离开之前，他的母亲却在分娩时去世。自此以后，维克多沉迷于将母亲复活的狂想与实验中，最终他制造出了怪物，却迷失了自己。
作为英国皇家芭蕾舞团的驻团艺术家，利亚姆·斯卡利特创作了大量的作品。2016年，三十岁的他创作了自己在英皇的第一部全长芭蕾舞剧《弗兰肯斯坦》，罗威尔·利伯曼创作了充满毁灭性的音乐，约翰·麦克法兰设计出令人毛骨悚然的舞台。极具表现力和戏剧性的舞蹈，获得了观众和评论的一致肯定，《泰晤士报》、《每日快报》、《舞台报》均给出四星推荐。
新现场引进的高清影像是2016年录制的，由首席舞者费代里科·博内利饰演敏感疯魔的维克多，史蒂文·麦克雷饰演强大可怕的怪物，纯洁善良的伊丽莎白则由劳拉·莫雷拉饰演。这部极具戏剧冲突的舞剧，对于演员的表演提出了极高的要求，这一组卡司的演出可谓是无懈可击的。其中，史蒂文·麦克雷的怪物已经成为他的标志性角色之一。

Distraught, Victor throws himself into his studies, learning obsessively all that he can from his Professor.

On the day of Victor’s wedding to Elizabeth, the Creature draws closer, enraptured by Elizabeth’s beauty. Victor discovers the Creature, who, in his panic, kills Elizabeth.
