NT Live: The Motive and the Cue (15)

Thu 18 Feb

The Motive and the Cue

by Jack Thorne 
directed by Sam Mendes 

The fierce and funny five-star play returns to the big screen. Sam Mendes (The Lehman

Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss in an Olivier Award-winning performance as John Gielgud.

1964: Richard Burton (Johnny Flynn), newly married to Elizabeth Taylor (Tuppence

Middleton), is set to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet

under Gielgud’s exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide

and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel. 


From multi-award-winning writer Jack Thorne (Adolescence), this acclaimed production was

filmed live during its sold-out London run in 2023.

Duration: 180 mins
