NT Live: Golden Boy, by Clifford Odets directed by Sam Yates Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic and can be seen on the Torch Theatre screen tonight.

1930’s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side. Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.

Described as a ‘knockout performance’ and awarded five stars by the Sunday Times and ‘the cast go off like firecrackers’ by the Standard, NT Live: Golden Boy is a must see!

NT Live: Golden Boy can be seen on the Torch Theatre screen on Thursday 5 November at 7pm. Tickets: Full: £15 / Concessions: £13 and U26: £8.50. Phone the Box Office on 01646 695267 or visit torchtheatre.co.uk for further information.
