(AP) — "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle is lined up to mount a stage adaptation of "Frankenstein" at Britain's National Theatre.

The theater announced the production Thursday as part of its 2010-2011 schedule.

Boyle got his start in theater in Scotland before making films including "Trainspotting" and "28 Days Later." He won a best-director Academy Award for "Slumdog," one of the movie's eight Oscars.

The play, adapted from Mary Shelly's Gothic horror story, will be staged late this year or early in 2011.

Other new productions announced by the National include a production of "Twelfth Night" with Peter Hall directing his daughter Rebecca Hall, and a series of events next year to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James version of the Bible.
