"It is a kind of mousetrap, a box within a box, which uses the art of theatre, and the story of a famous but troubled Broadway production that set box office records, to examine the art of acting and the nature of theatrical truth-telling." - WhatsOnStage

The brilliant performance by National Theatre Live 'The Motive and The Cue' screens June 30th as part of this month's Art Sunday 🎨
