NTLive - The Motive and the Cue

A new play by Jack Thorne
Directed by Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) with Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud and Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton in this fierce and funny new play.

Thursday 4th April starting at 7.00pm

1964: Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.

Written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and designed by Es Devlin (The Crucible), the Evening Standard award-winning best new play was filmed live during a sold-out run at the National Theatre. 

Screening Starts at 7pm. Doors Open at 6:30pm. TICKETS (£15 each) ON SALE NOW
