Leopoldstadt
A new play by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Patrick Marber
Tom Stoppard’s Olivier Award-winning new play Leopoldstadt is a passionate drama of love, family and endurance.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter of Vienna, Austria. But Hermann Merz, a factory owner and baptised Jew now married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world.
We follow his family’s story across half a century, passing through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A company of 40 actors represent each generation of the family in this epic, but intimate play.
Filmed live on stage in London’s West End, ‘Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece is magnificent’ (Independent) and should not be missed.
★★★★ ‘Tom Stoppard’s new masterwork is an early contender for play of the year.’ - Evening Standard
★★★★ ‘Tom Stoppard delivers an unforgettable play from the heart.’ - Telegraph
★★★★ ‘Stoppard’s back at his most personal. A glittering triumph.’ - Daily Mail
The show is 140 minutes with no interval.

Director - Steven Spielberg
Cast includes Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose
Duration - 166 mins.
This 4pm screening is socially distanced.
A new adaptation of the beloved stage musical (and a loving tribute to its 1961 big-screen iteration) from director Steven Spielberg and Pulitzer Prize-winning screenwriter Tony Kushner, West Side Story follows two teenagers from different ethnic backgrounds who fall in love in 1950s New York City.
As their romance intensifies, they find themselves drawn into the heart of a conflict between two warring gangs.
Mr. Spielberg did not waste his time-or ours. The new West Side Story is simply fabulous. - Observer
There's a substrata of genius-level artists at work here: from Spielberg himself, who delivers his best film in nearly 20 years, to the late, great Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins , Leonard Bernstein and William Shakespeare -- and you can really feel it. - Time Out
Spielberg quite rightly doesn't try hiding any of those stage origins. His mastery of technique is thrilling; I gave my heart to this poignant American fairytale of doomed love. - Guardian
