★★★★★ 'As close to theatrical perfection as you could hope for,' says Paul Seven Lewis reviewing Mark Gatiss, Johnny Flynn and Tuppence Middleton in The Motive And The Cue. Jack Thorne's new play, directed by Sam Mendes, takes us back to 1964 and the rehearsals for a Broadway show in which the classic actor John Gielgud is directing the turbulent young star Richard Burton as Hamlet. They fight and they learn as they seek out the truth of the Prince's character. The set is by Es Devlin. Originally seen at the National Theatre, this production has transferred to the Noel Coward Theatre in the West End of London (where Gielgud performed his own legendary Hamlet). It closed on 23 March 2024. There are cinema screenings planned over April to June 2024. This is a link to the listing themotiveandthecue.ntlive.com/
