Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud and Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton in this fierce and funny new play.
1964: Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.
Written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and designed by Es Devlin (The Crucible), the Evening Standard award-winning best new play was filmed live during a sold-out run at the National Theatre.

Ein Deutsches Requiem - Brahms
Saturday 23 March
Pamoja Hall, 7.30pm
Tickets £17 | £16 concessions | £5 Students/U21s Book tickets
Whilst Brahms was already established as a huge musical talent the first performance in 1869 of his great requiem setting for chorus and orchestra secured his reputation as one of the most important artists of the era. Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem) was written in response to the death of his mother and as such is a deeply personal reflection of his love and loss. Though based on liturgical texts this is not a standard requiem for the dead but more a prayer for all those who mourn to the extent that Brahms wanted to call it “Ein menschliches Requiem” – A human Requiem.
At around 80 minutes (two halves separated by an interval) this is the longest of Brahms works and is performed here in the original German with Soprano and Baritone Soloists accompanied by Sevenoaks Philharmonic Orchestra all under the baton of our Music Director, Robyn Sevastos.
