Jude Law (The Young Pope, Closer, The Talented Mr Ripley) stars in the stage production of Obsession at the Barbican Theatre in London. Ivo van Hove (NT Live: A View from the Bridge, Hedda Gabler) directs this new stage adaptation of Luchino Visconti’s 1943 film.
Gino is a drifter, down-at-heel and magnetically handsome. At a roadside restaurant he encounters husband and wife, Giuseppe and Giovanna. Irresistibly attracted to each other, Gino and Giovanna begin a fiery affair and plot to murder her husband. But, in this chilling tale of passion and destruction, the crime only serves to tear them apart.
Skip the jetlag and join us for the best of London theater right here in Easton. The Williams Center introduces a new series, National Theatre Live Downtown. In partnership with the Lafayette College Theater Department, we'll present broadcast performances from London's vaunted venues--the National Theatre, the Old Vic, the Barbican, Donmar Warehouse, and other West End houses--at the Landis Cinema, Buck Hall, 219 North 3rd Street.
