As part of the ongoing UK Now festival, two film versions of the play Frankenstein by the National Theater of UK were shown at the Beijing MOMA Broadway Cinema on Friday and Saturday.

Based on Mary Shelley's classic novel, this new production of Frankenstein is directed by Danny Boyle and adapted for the stage by Nick Dear, who took part in a pre-show discussion before both shows.

The screenings were presented by the KT Wong Foundation, which is devoted to promoting cross-cultural collaborations between China and the West.

UK Now is the biggest festival of British arts and creative industries held in China and is holding hundreds of events in 17 Chinese cities between April and November.
