National Theatre Live: Golden Boy

A string quartet plays live on stage throughout the Almeida Theatre's revival of Golden Boy, Clifford Odets's 1937 drama set in Depression-era New York. Joe Bonaparte, a gifted young violinist, is lured into professional boxing by the promise of fame and money and has to decide what he will give up to get it. Sam Yates's production reaches the Ringling's Historic Asolo Theater as a National Theatre Live film. Josh O'Connor, of The Crown and Challengers, plays Joe, with Daniel Mays and Hayley Squires among the cast.
