In a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is entranced by the flickering silent images of his father’s cinematograph and stumbles on to a revolutionary way of telling stories. Forty years on, Motl – now a renowned American film director – reflects on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams.
Director Nicholas Hytner presents Nicholas Wright’s (Vincent in Brixton and The Reporter) new play, a funny and fascinating tribute to the many Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood’s golden age. With Damian Molony (Being Human) as Motl, and the award-winning Antony Sher (Primo, Broken Glass) as Jacob, his patron.
We suggest that the Lexi is a uniquely suitable place to watch this beguiling new play!
