- The hugely celebrated production of The Motive and the Cue transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre this December, following a sold-out run at the National Theatre. www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/pr...

Sam Mendes directs Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton, Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud and Tuppence Middleton as Elizabeth Taylor, in this fierce and funny new play by Jack Thorne, offering a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity.
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.
The Motive and the Cue opens at the Noël Coward Theatre from 9 December.

Saw it yesterday. Absolut blast… went by so fast. The moment the final lights went dark the auditorium rose as one unit and gave them the standing ovation they deserved. This play is so good. Go see it everyone!
This definitely needs to be filmed and shown either in cinema's or on TV, if only for those of us who physically can't get to London (or wherever) to see it.
That's what NTLive does - you can watch it at home or in cinemas...
I hope they film it and send it to theatres or release it on Nat theatre at home.
Am sure this one would be very popular and would support movie theatres as well.
They have filmed it. NT Live streams start from the 23rd of March 2024.

@@somecontrol268 Thank you!
Have just seen it now in my local cinema and it was marvellous. I ignorantly did not know that Johnny Flynn was an actor - and what an actor. Very good performances from all. @@DAN44100
Saw it this evening. Best play I've ever seen! Surprising funny in many spots, and totally captive audience at other times. Mark Gattis and Johnny Flynn just excellent and really enjoyed Tupperance Middleton's performance. And yes the ending!
Oh for the love of all that's holy, could you put this on Nat Theatre Live @ Home soon? So few live in a city with theatres that bring in these brilliant shows. We are starved here--STARVED. Help us, Nat Theatre Live. You're our only hope.
It’s showing at odeon tonight by the looks of it )
I hope you got to see it - I saw it courtesy of roh live and it’s incredible- I think if they put it on dvd now it would outsell Burtons Hamlet!
I spoke to their support team. They said "Unfortunately, The Motive and The Cue are not currently scheduled to join National Theatre at Home." When I expressed disappointment and asked for a viewing link for personal use, they cited "rights and licensing reasons". I've canceled my subscription. If they keep disappointing people in this way, I surely won't be the last to do so.
the ending is fabulous
We really need more of this released to movie theatres, so those with disabilities aren't forced to miss out.
NT Live does exactly that. Also, if you have an Access card for your disabilities (costs about £15 for 3 years if you have the right paperwork to qualify) then you can book access tickets at most theatres - wheelchair friendly, autism friendly, closed caption or audio described performances etc.
@jolorna3654 yeah, exactly! Which is why I wish they would bring MORE of these to the big screen!!!
@@freeradiomars I bought tickets to the live theatre for the last night and now it’s going to be in cinemas, but I’m glad my sons can see it - going to make a memorable performance trip
Indeed. It was brilliant. I wish I could watch it again for the first time!
So many details on the set!
Never a fan of theatre but would definitely go see this
I saw this play in July. I thought it was amazing!
brilliant!
This is awesome! I hope some day it will be filmed and broadcast in some channel... Otherwise people like me will have no chance to watch it. As I'm from India.
You can still pay to join NTAt Home - it will eventually be on that service.

This looks amazing
Awesome
I’m in Texas, waiting patiently for a worldwide cinema release…
Matthew Rhys would make an incredible Burton… I trained with him and he was obsessed with him and did the best vocal impression I’ve ever heard.
What was Matthew like to train with? Man's a hell of an actor!
@@raymofarrell19 he was a real delight. He was only 18…. Full of energy… jumping about and on you all the time. He was good at everything. We got drunk a lot… argued over
The rugby… but you just knew he had something special. He was very kind, thoughtful and very very funny. He would do Burton I would do Hopkins and another mate would do Connery
@christophercooper4149 a proper Welshman - passionate about the rugby! Sounds like a very decent, hard-working man, and you definitely seemed to have great times impersonating Burton, Hopkins and Connery with Matthew and your mates.
@@raymofarrell19 RADA was very magical…. It was an old 30’s building in Bloomsbury. It just smelt of great actors. Gielgud would appear sometimes…. The council meetings were hosted by Lord Attenborough, Hopkins would attend often. Matthew would still call our teachers sir and miss. It took him time to relax enough to use their first names. I remember when we did display fights we practiced in front of the academy, friends, family. He and Martin Ledwith did a sword fight from Robin Hood, Matthew obviously playing Robin. He swung onto stage on a rope and they gave an incredibly funny but action packed performance
@christophercooper4149 visits from Gielgud, Dick Attenborough and Tony Hopkins to RADA?! Must have a lot more great stories where the Robin Hood one came from! Just brilliant bearing them from yourself of course. I'm a huge fan of many of these actors (Burton and Hopkins in particular without any disrespect to Matthew), am studying Drama and Performance as one of my modules in an Arts & Humanities course I'm doing at home here in Ireland, and I am also considering auditioning for my first theatrical part in a local theatre company's production of a play by Hugh Leonard called 'Da' to be performed in October, its nerve-racking but I imagine its also something new and enjoyable to try out considering I have a massive interest in it!
Anyone know what the music to this is ?
He should do cbbc version of lost hearts xx❤
Just to add some balance to this comment section, I saw it this afternoon and thought it was awful. Superficially witty but fundamentally shallow writing. Caricature rather than character. The fact it is so highly praised is a sign that we are living in a philistine age. (However, Tuppence Middleton was good).
Elizabeth Taylor was a prop for the male characters to realize their stories. Hated that and the show in general.
@@emhu2594 true, but she was well played at least.
The national has been a joke and a national embarrassment for years now.
This play is stunning. Pure theatre
I'm sure the real people would absolutely detest this
Hated it. Also invented the word mantrum after seeing it. So tedious
Thank goodness I'm not alone. My mate left at half time. I sat it out but spent the second half dissecting what was wrong with it.
@@vidyaruchi4810 the second part was better than the first, but still a show entirely about coddling an untalented unprofessional man child.
@@vidyaruchi4810what did you come up with? Was it the characterisation you didn’t quite like or the staging etc? Personally I really liked it and thought that despite the hefty runtime it didn’t feel its duration at all
