Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl – now a famed American film director – looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams.

19世纪70年代的新英格兰海滨小渔村，在磨房工作的两位年轻女工下班后到村里的游乐园坐旋转木马消遣，其中一位姑娘茱利·乔丹（Julie Jordan）成为旋转木马工比利?比格罗（Billy Bigelow）的目标，在旋转木马上他一直试图跟她调情。 旋转木马主人穆林夫人（Mrs. Mullin）发现比利的不轨行经，十分生气，她警告茱利不能再靠近旋转木马，因为她竟然允许比利把手放在她腰上，穆林表示不允许这种有伤风化的事情发生在她的木马上。茱利和好友嘉利·皮泊利奇（Julie's friend）和穆林夫人争吵起来。比利赶到，最初他为穆林夫人帮腔，这里暗示了比利和穆林夫人的私情，并说明比利这个工作也是因为和穆林夫人相好才得到的。但随即发现穆林夫人不过是吃醋，于是倒戈偏向茱利，最后遭到穆林夫人解雇。种种迹象让嘉利感觉茱利对比利产生了感情，她试图问个究竟，但茱利不予正面回答。但嘉利仍然相信自己猜对了，并告诉茱利自己也有了相好：当地一位渔夫艾诺奇?斯诺（Enoch Snow)。 比利找到这两位女工，要求和茱利单独谈谈，嘉利非常担心的警告说，如果茱利晚归将会被认为是行为不检点而遭到解雇，仓皇离去。磨房主人巴斯科姆先生（Mr. Bascombe）和警察路过，发现茱利和比利单独在一起，巴斯科姆告诉她，比利是专门骗取女孩钱财的流氓，并提出带茱利以保全她的名声，茱利拒绝了，她也失业了。他们终于单独在一起聊天，两人之间产生了浓厚的激情，尽管他们都不肯在谈话中承认这一点，最后比利吻了茱利。 一个月后，已经结婚的比利和茱利前往投奔茱利的表姐内蒂·福勒（Nettie Fowler），她经营着一个海滨餐厅。一天晚上，一群水手来到餐厅准备举行一次聚会。嘉利和其他姑娘们看到热情的水兵十分兴奋，于是相互调情。内蒂为了避免他们行为过火，引领大家载歌载舞以转移他们的注意力。在大家都享受着歌舞的欢乐时，茱利却独自一人，比利和他的朋友吉格尔出去鬼混了一天，完全不见踪影。内蒂让嘉利好好的安慰茱利。 为了不让姑娘们听到茱利的伤心事，内蒂打发她们打扫聚会现场。茱利向嘉利透露，由于长期失业，比利情绪十分沮丧，有一次因为动怒还煽了她一耳光。嘉利则带来好消息，她将与斯诺先生结婚。一直在假装工作，实际偷听她们谈话的女工们冲上来热情的祝福嘉利，并想象她的婚礼是多么的漂亮。斯诺先生意外的造访他们，大家又热烈的祝福他，然后离去。 嘉利介绍茱利与自己未婚夫认识，看到朋友的婚姻幸福，联想到自己的遭遇，茱利不禁失态，倚靠在斯诺先生肩头哭泣。当她平静下来之后，比利和吉格尔一起回来，对斯诺先生恶言相向后，径直进了屋，他们的举动让茱利非常难堪。从茱利出来的路上，斯诺和嘉利开始畅想两人未来的共同生活。斯诺计划先捕鱼多赚钱，然后改行做买卖致富，和嘉利组建家庭生很多孩子。 吉格尔在比利面前炫耀单身生活的自在，并和朋友们当着他的面与姑娘们大肆调情。吉格尔怂恿比利加入他们的抢劫计划，但当听吉格尔说抢劫中会杀死受害人后，比利拒绝了。穆林夫人造访比利，当听比利说起婚姻生活的不快后，她试图劝说他回旋转木马干活。茱利碰巧听到两人的谈话，几乎和穆林吵起来。穆林离开后，茱利告诉比利自己怀孕。面对即将出世的孩子，比利十分高兴，但充分意识到自己现在的穷困处境，为了给孩子提供更好的经济保障，他决定参与抢劫。全村人准备参加大型聚会，尽管从前比利非常讨厌这样的聚会，但现在意识到这是抢劫计划的一部分，于是决定参加，让茱利非常高兴。 全村聚会上，所有人都非常高兴。吉格尔巧舌如簧的勾引嘉利，嘉利不知就里，结果被斯诺看见，吉格尔继续和她调情，斯诺生气的表示和嘉利分手。姑娘们安慰嘉利，告诉她男人都不是好东西，并劝茱利离开比利。但是茱利表示真正爱一个人，就应该在任何情况下对他不弃不离。她发现比利要和吉格尔一起离开，并发现他的口袋里藏着刀，怀着不详的预感，她试图阻拦比利，比利粗暴的把她推开，走上抢劫之路。茱利痛苦的看着比利离开。 在等待抢劫的过程中，吉格尔拉比利一起赌博，用他们即将抢劫的财富作为赌注。由于吉格尔使诈，比利把自己的那份钱输光，即使抢劫成功他也将会身无分文。抢劫目标巴斯科姆先生出现，但是他做好了充分的准备，不仅把钱藏在安全的地方还带了手枪防身，看到抢劫犯后，他举枪射击，惊动了警察。除了比利，其他人都成功逃脱，发现自己被包围，无法忍受牢狱生活的比利自杀了。等到茱利赶来，他已经咽气。 嘉利安慰茱利说也许他死去不是坏事，比利的死让斯诺和嘉利充分认识到彼此的重要，两人重归于好。穆林夫人闻讯赶来，希望看比利最后一眼，虽然全村的人都不喜欢她，但茱利答应了她的要求。穆林含泪离开后，内蒂告诉茱利要勇敢的继续生活下去。 比利来到天堂大门前，看门天使告诉他，想要进天堂，他必须平在凡间造成的痛苦。他表示自己拒绝和低级天堂官员打交道，要求直接进见上帝，接受最后的审判。天使仍然把他送回凡间，他在路上偷了一颗星星。等到回到人间时，已经是15年后，他的女儿路易丝已经长大，成为一个性格乖张的孤僻女孩，因为她的出身（抢劫犯的女儿）而受到歧视。她的生活十分痛苦。 现在已经富甲一方的斯诺先生和嘉利有了9个孩子，他自以为进入了上流社会，拒绝和茱利有更多来往，但是嘉利仍然和茱利及家人保持良好的关系，经常看望她。这天她再度造访茱利，路易丝告诉她的大儿子小艾诺奇(Enoch Jr) ，她决定到最近造访村子的嘉年华当歌舞女郎，这样就可以离开村子。小艾诺奇向她求婚，表示这样一来，她就不必背井离乡，还说他需要花很大力气才能说服父亲允许他和下层社会的姑娘结婚。路易丝非常愤怒的赶走了他，痛哭起来。 比利显身，自称是她父亲的朋友去安慰她。为了让她高兴，他把偷来的星星送给女儿。路易丝很有戒心的拒绝了礼物，比利生气的给了女儿一耳光。路易丝尖叫着进屋找妈妈，自觉无颜面对茱利，比利隐身了。于是茱利出来，除了那颗星星，什么也没看见。路易丝很惊讶的告诉母亲，尽管挨了打，却一点也不疼，那一耳光感觉更像是一个吻。茱利似乎预料到了真相，看着星星感慨万分。隐身状态下，比利向茱利表达了他的爱，但是也意识到自己的表白太迟了，自己永远无法和她共同幸福的生活了。 他来到女儿的毕业典礼上，当她接受毕业证书时，村民拒绝为她鼓掌。校长开始训话，他告诉同学们不要以父母的得失评价一个同学。同学们唱起“你永不独行”，比利在冥冥中鼓励女儿要对未来充满信心，并在茱利耳边轻声说到：“我爱你。” 茱利母女似乎感觉到比利的存在，她们由衷的感到了幸福。看到亲人们重新树立起对生活的信心，比利十分欣慰，天堂的门为他打开，他勇敢的走进去，等待他的最终审判。

Covid-19 seems to be a sort of dirty bomb, thrown into the body to cause havoc. On the same day that the UK government finally made the first of two decisive interventions that led to a conspicuously late lockdown, David Hare contracted Covid-19. Nobody seemed to know much about it then, and many doctors are not altogether sure they know much more today. Suffering a pageant of apparently random symptoms, Hare recalls the delirium of his illness, which mixed with fear, dream, honest medicine and dishonest politics to create a monologue of furious urgency and power.

Act 1 Charles and Dazzle arrive back at Sir Harcourt's London home after a night on the town, and manage to avoid Sir Harcourt with Cool's help—Sir Harcourt still believes Charles is a clean-living innocent. Max arrives to make the final arrangements for Sir Harcourt's marriage to Max's niece Grace—by arrangement, Sir Harcourt has financially helped Max in return for making Grace's inheritance contingent on her marrying Sir Harcourt (if she does not, it will pass to Charles). Sir Harcourt leaves and Dazzle bumps into Max, gaining himself an invitation to Oak Hall, Max's country house—a trip on which Charles will accompany him. [edit]Act 2 At Oak Hall, Grace explains to her maid Pert her acceptance of marriage to the aged Sir Harcourt and her view of love as an "epidemic madness". Charles and Dazzle arrive, and the former (not knowing of his father's marriage plans) immediately starts courting Grace. When his father arrives, Charles pretends, in the face of all evidence, that he is a man called Augustus Hamilton who merely bears a remarkable likeness to Charles and convinces his father for a time. [edit]Act 3 Lady Gay Spanker and her husband "Dolly" arrive, and Sir Harcourt immediately falls in love with the former. Grace begins to fall in love with Charles/Augustus in spite of herself. When Lady Gay interrupts their courtship, Charles easily persuades the lady to distract Sir Harcourt from marriage to Grace by apparently accepting his affections. [edit]Act 4 Charles leaves as 'Augustus', returning as Charles to tell Grace that 'Augustus' has been killed, to see if she really loves him, whilst Lady Gay and Sir Harcourt plan to elope together. [edit]Act 5 The elopement is frustrated by Max, Dolly and the local lawyer Meddle. Dolly challenges Sir Harcourt to a duel. Sir Harcourt realises he has been duped and resolves to release Grace from their marriage contract. [edit]Act 6 Max prevents the duel and Grace insists on going through with the marriage to Sir Harcourt, as a ruse to force Charles's hand. Charles's creditors catch up with him. Dolly forgives Gay and Sir Harcourt finds out his son's true nature as well as acceding to Charles's marriage to Grace.

Ralph Fiennes stars in David Hare’s blazing account of the life of a man whose iron will exposed the weakness of democracy in the face of charismatic conviction. For forty uninterrupted years, Robert Moses was the most powerful man in New York. Though never elected to office, he manipulated those who were through a mix of guile, charm and intimidation. Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created new parks, new bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors. But in the 1950s, groups of citizens at grass roots began to organize against his schemes and against the motor car, campaigning for a very different idea of what a city was and for what it should be.

How had a twenty-two-year-old pretentious layabout made a discovery that would elude every other cinematic pioneer for years to come? In a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is entranced by the flickering silent images on his father's cinematograph. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl - now a famed American film director - looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams. I know it was in the picture. I made the picture and now the cow's getting paid and I'm not! Following Vincent in Brixton and The Reporter, Nicholas Wright's new play is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood's golden age...

Moscow, 1938. A dangerous place to have a sense of humour; even more so a sense of freedom. Mikhail Bulgakov, living among dissidents, stalked by secret police, has both. And then he’s offered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about Stalin to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.

A new English adaptation of the classic French tragedy Phèdre by Jean Racine (1639-1699). It retells the ancient Greek tale of the wife of the Atenian King Theseus, who conceived a forbidden love for his son (by an earlier wife) Hyppolytus. All ends badly for all.

Sir Harcourt Courtly is lured away from the epicentre of fashionable London by the promise of a rich and beautiful bride, Grace, several decades his junior. Arriving at Oak Hall, Gloucestershire, he marvels at this rural Venus until her charms are eclipsed by her hearty cousin, the foxhunting Lady Gay Spanker. Meanwhile his disguised son turns up in flight from his creditors and falls head over heels for Grace. When Lady Spanker discovers the young couple, she needs little prompting from the visiting chancer Dazzle to lead Sir Harcourt astray.
