Johnny Flynn is Richard Burton, Mark Gatiss is John Gielgud, and Tuppence Middleton is Elizabeth Taylor in this new production from director Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy, American Beauty). In 1964, an experimental Broadway production of Hamlet starring Burton is set to begin production under Gielgud’s direction. As rehearsals progress, two generations of theater collide, threatening to unravel the collaboration between actor and director.
