A new play by Jack Thorne,directed by Sam Mendes
Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss as John
Gielgud and Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton in this fierce and funny
new play.
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 awardwinning
best new play was filmed live during a sold-out run at the National Theatre.
