About the Production
Lexington Venue is screening National Theatre Live's Golden Boy, filmed live at London's Almeida Theatre. Josh O'Connor (The Crown, Challengers) stars in this revival of Clifford Odets' American classic, directed by Olivier Award winner Sam Yates. The cast also includes Daniel Mays and Hayley Squires.
The Story
It's 1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a promising musical future, until a chance at fame and fortune pulls him into the brutal world of professional boxing. Performed with a live string quartet, the drama explores ambition, identity and the high price of success.
Running Time
About 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours, including an interval.
Also Showing: The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
John Turturro stars as Harry Lehman, an aging pickpocket in an increasingly cashless, digital New York. When Harry steals a mysterious USB stick and sells it for a fortune, he learns it belongs to a vengeful crime family. He has only a few hours to return it. Steve Buscemi plays a pawnshop owner and Giancarlo Esposito a police detective. Written and directed by Noah Segan, the film runs about 1 hour 28 minutes and is rated R for suggestions of violence and profanity. It premiered at Sundance in January 2026, and Turturro is getting Oscar buzz for the role.
