Join Motive and the Cue at Duke of York's

On Thursday, 18 February 2027, the Duke of York's Picturehouse in Brighton will host National Theatre Live: Motive and the Cue, a play that runs until Friday, 19 February 2027. • The play is directed by acclaimed director Sam Mendes and features a talented cast, including Tuppence Middleton, Johnny Flynn, and Mark Gatiss. • The story takes place in 1964 and revolves around Richard Burton's preparation for a Broadway production of Hamlet, under the direction of John Gielgud, played by Mark Gatiss. • The production, written by multi-award-winning writer Jack Thorne, was filmed live during its sold-out London run in 2023 and has received widespread critical acclaim.

This play is a unique opportunity to witness the clash of two theatrical ages, with the exacting direction of Gielgud pitted against the experimental approach of the new production. With its talented cast and crew, Motive and the Cue is set to be an engaging watch.
