National Theatre Live: Golden Boy

National Theatre Live brings Golden Boy to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Thursday 3 December, starting at 7pm. It's a screening 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 who gets lured into the brutal world of professional boxing, and asks how much a man is willing to sacrifice for fame.

This particular production was filmed live at the Almeida Theatre and is staged with a live string quartet, which fits the story's focus on Joe's musical roots. It's directed by Olivier Award winner Sam Yates, who also did Vanya. The cast features Josh O'Connor, Daniel Mays, and Hayley Squires.

Because it's a National Theatre Live screening, you're seeing a professional London production on the big screen rather than a live cast on the Pavilion stage. It runs for three hours and is rated 12A, so it's a full evening's commitment. Tickets are £15.
