Back in 1964, Sir John Gielgud, already a legend on stage and for interpreting Shakespeare, was set to direct Richard Burton in Hamlet, in a modern day adaptation that would run on Broadway from April to August of that year.

Playwright Jack Thorne saw this as tremendous material for creating a different kind of love letter to theater. Sam Mendes directed The Motive and the Cue when it was first staged in London in 2023. Mark Gatiss portrays Gielgud, Johnny Flynn is Burton, and Tuppence Middleton takes on the role of Elizabeth Taylor, with Gatiss picking up the Best Actor win in the 2024 Olivier Awards. It was also nominated for Best New Play and Best Director.
The transitions between scenes are illuminating, the interplay between rehearsing Hamlet and the thoughts and dialogue of the real-life characters are so poignant, and the ensemble acting is truly topnotch. There is so much to love in this filmed version that tries to faithfully recapture the magic of watching this live in a theater to the best of its ability.
