A new play by Tom Stoppard, directed by Patrick Marber. Filmed live from the Wyndam’s Theatre in London. The Olivier Award-winning play 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.

Dir: Will Sharpe 2021 | 111 mins

Louis Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch) is an eccentric Victorian artist. His popular, playful, drawings of cats transform the public's perception of cats from mysterious to irresistible. His art also supports his widowed mother and five younger sisters. His skilled and speedy portraiture impresses, but his often stormy view of the world and those in it keeps him from engaging much with society.

That is, until he hires a kind, curious governess for his youngest sisters, Emily Richardson (Claire Foy). She illuminates his life in a way even he’d never imagined. Love blooms across the class divide — albeit to the chagrin of Louis’s stern sister Caroline (Andrea Riseborough).

Olivia Colman narrates this extraordinary true story.
