Drama
Jazz, Broadway and the Great Depression. In 1930s New York City, international financier Gregor Antonescu's luck has finally run out. As news of a catastrophic business deal ripples across the world, he flees to the apartment of his estranged son Basil. Truths are uncovered and relationships are tested as Gregor gets down to business, to save his reputation and keep his empire from collapse. In his National Theatre debut, director Anthony Lau brings a sharp, contemporary edge to Terence Rattigan's tale of paternity and corruption, with Ben Daniels and Laurie Kynaston playing father and son. Filmed live the Dorfman Theatre, National Theatre in London, UK.
