This is a slightly depressing but interesting concept for a film. It stars Eddie Marsan as John May a kind, gentle but lonely local government employee whose job it is to deal with those who die alone in his district and try to trace their relatives to let them know or to arrange funerals for the deceased.
Due to cutbacks, he is told his services are not going to be needed, but that he can finish one last case.

The auditorium looks creepy, and the first 10 minutes is (fake) shaven-headed and scarred Cumberbatch dressed only in a loincloth writhing about alone on stage being the newly-born monster.
The creature then meets a kindly old blind man, who teaches him the basics of life and speech, but he is shunned from the rest of society. When the creature finds out that he was an experiment, he vows to exact revenge on Victor and his family.
During an argument, the creature says he will leave if Victor makes him a mate, but when Victor reconsiders the implications of this he faces the creature’s wrath a final time.
This is a recreation of James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s Peacock Room from the 1800s. This was a dining room located close to the V&A.
The installation is free to visit and is located close to the main entrance. It doesn’t look much like a dining room as it has no furniture in it.

This interesting exhibition is free to members – the cost to non-members is £16. It explores the history of the kimono in Japanese society and how it has inspired fashion trends across the world.
