Encore Theatre Screening
A new play by Jack Thorne
Directed by Sam Mendes
An NCPA-National Theatre Live (London) Presentation
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. Bus 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.
Box Office: 26th December for Members & 29th December for Public.
