Duke of York's Picturehouse (Brighton)

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.
