Screening of the National Theatre Live revival of Clifford Odets' Golden Boy, with Josh O'Connor, filmed live at the Almeida Theatre and screened with a live string quartet.
Derby Quad is screening Golden Boy on Thursday 26 November, part of a National Theatre Live run that opens on 5 November and goes through to 13 December. It's a revival of Clifford Odets' American classic, set in 1930s New York at the height of the Depression. The story follows Joe Bonaparte, a gifted young violinist whose chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing.
Josh O'Connor leads the cast, and the production is directed by Olivier Award winner Sam Yates, who also did Vanya. It was filmed live at the Almeida Theatre, and the screening includes a live string quartet playing along, so you'll hear the music as it was performed on stage. O'Connor is well known from The Crown and Challengers, and here he takes on the role of a musician trading his bow for the ring.
