Review: THE MOTIVE AND THE CUE at Noel Coward

It’s 1964 and movie star Richard Burton (Johnny Flynn) is in rehearsals for a production of Hamlet on Broadway. The stakes could not be higher for the Welshman who’d tied the knot with Elizabeth Taylor (Tuppence Middleton) a mere three weeks before opening night. At the helm, Shakespearean titan Sir John Gielgud (Mark Gatiss) whose classical delivery and poetic appreciation for the text, inform his directorial style and are entirely at odds with Burton’s ferocious modern vision.
