Golden Boy – Almeida Theatre

Break a leg to Daniel Mays and the cast and crew of Golden Boy at the Almeida Theatre as they open their first performances.

From the Almeida Theatre:

I’m out for fame and fortune, not to be different or artistic! I don’t intend to be ashamed of my life!

1930s New York, at the height of the Depression.

Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with extraordinary talent and a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. Pressured by a ruthless manager, tempted by a forbidden love, and bound by the expectations of his Italian-American family, Joe is a young man torn between the seductive promise of the American Dream and the quiet honour of a decent life. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become, and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.

Olivier Award winner Sam Yates (VANYA; Magpie) directs Emmy and Golden Globe winner Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic. Brought to life with a live string quartet, this propulsive drama explores ambition, identity, and the high price of success.

Tickets are *mostly* sold out but there are opportunities to purchase returned tickets or production changes. Check the Almeida Theatre website and/or box office.

There is also a National Theatre Live broadcast beginning 5th November in the UK. International dates will be available soon.
