Event Description

by Clifford Odets

Josh O’Connor (The Crown, Challengers) heads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic, directed by Sam Yates.

1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a talented 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 prepared to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.

Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high cost of success.
