National Theatre Live: The Golden Boy

Golden Boy by Clifford Odets, directed by Sam Yates<br />Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic. 1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a<br />future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional<br />boxing.

Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre. Olivier Award-winner<br />Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of<br />success. Tickets: Adult £15, Friend £12. Booking required.
