NT Live Broadcast. The Motive and The Cue (English/ 160 mins with interval). Dir. Sam Mendes. Olivier Award-nominated play by Jack Thorne. Set in 1964, Richard Burton (Johnny Flynn), newly married to Elizabeth Taylor (Tuppence Middleton), plays the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s (Mark Gatiss) exacting direction. As rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel. Tickets at Rs.500, Rs.350 & Rs.250 are available online on bookmyshow.com and at the Habitat Programmes desk.
