WJCT presents this National Theatre Live production of The Motive and the Cue. Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss (Mycroft Holmes in Sherlock) 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.
This filmed theatrical production is three hours long and includes a 15-minute intermission.
