Ralph Fiennes leads the cast in David Hare’s blazing account of the most powerful man in New York, a master manipulator whose legacy changed the city forever. For forty uninterrupted years, Robert Moses exploited those in office through a mix of charm and intimidation. Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created parks, bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors. Faced with resistance by protest groups campaigning for a very different idea of what the city should become, will the weakness of democracy be exposed in the face of his charismatic conviction? Broadcast live from the Bridge Theatre in London, Nicholas Hytner directs this exhilarating new play.
Gertrude
Learning of his father’s death, Prince Hamlet comes home to find his uncle married to his mother and installed on the Danish throne. At night, the ghost of the old king demands that Hamlet avenge his ‘foul and most unnatural murder.’ Encompassing political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humour, Hamlet is a colossus in the story of the English language and the fullest expression of Shakespeare’s genius.
Sicinia
When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too.

Hilary
Um retrato crítico sobre o cenário musical da década de 1980, visto através do olhar de Tony Wilson - um apresentador de TV recém-formado em Cambridge, que inspirado pelo primeiro show dos Sex Pistols em Manchester, funda a hoje mundialmente famosa, Factory Records e a Danceteria Haçienda. As bandas contratadas por ele incluíram Joy Division e The Happy Mondays, enquanto a Haçienda transformou Manchester. Tudo construído sob a filosofia comercial anárquica de Wilson - nada de contrato, só paixão, música e hedonismo - se a banda não gostar, está livre para partir. Ninguém vai embora , mas com dívidas e as ressacas pertubando os cérebros, tudo acaba ficando descontrolado. O comediante Steve Coogan interpreta Wilson em sua luta para manter-se de pé em um mundo de gênios viciados e angustiados. A trilha sonora inclui sucessos dos grupos The Happy Mondays, New Order e Joy Division.
