NT Live Encore Screening: Straight Line Crazy

Ralph Fiennes portrays one of the most influential men in New York in David Hare's compelling drama about the nature of power, recorded live on the stage of the Bridge Theatre in London. Directed by Nicholas Hytner, Straight Line Crazy charts the rise of urban planner Robert Moses during two notable episodes when the public official exposed the weakness of democracy. Under the guise of improving workers' lives, Moses ruthlessly exercised guile and intimidation to realise his vision.
