Sharmill Films latest National Theatre Live theatrical release Straight Line Crazy is coming to select theatres on September 17.
Ralph Fiennes (Schindler’s List, The English Patient) leads the cast in David Hare’s (NT Live: Skylight) 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?
The film has been broadcast live from the Bridge Theatre in London, Nicholas Hytner (NT Live: The History Boys) is the Director.
