Sam Mendes directs Jack Thorne’s THE MOTIVE & THE CUE at the National Theatre (FOLLOW THIS LINK TO ACTUAL REVIEW). This is the story of Richard Burton’s “Hamlet” in 1964, directed by Sir John Gielgud. We’re in rehearsal rooms, as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s suite. Mark Gattis plays … or rather IS … Sir John Gielgud. Johnny Flynn IS Richard Burton, and Tuppence Middleton brings us Elizabeth Taylor. The play is thugght-provoking and insightful.
