Golden Boy
by Clifford Odets
directed by Sam Yates

Filmed live at the Almeida Theatre, London. Golden Globe winner Josh O'Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets' knockout American classic.

1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. 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.

Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.
