Josh O’Connor (‘The Crown’, ‘God’s Own Country’) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic.FROM 5 Nov
1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte (O’Connor) is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing.
He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.
Filmed live from the Almeida Theatre and featuring a live string quartet, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (‘Vanya’) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.
