What to expect

A National Theatre Live recording of a two-hander starring Jack Lowden and Martin Freeman, directed by Finn den Hertog. The 86-minute piece keeps the focus tight on two men in a confined space, working through a charged, psychological confrontation. Because it is a filmed stage performance, the camera stays close to the actors, so you catch the small shifts in expression that a back row would miss.

In Hong Kong this week it is playing at two cinemas across two districts, with only two screenings listed. Tickets start at HK$230. The recording is in English with Chinese subtitles. No Hong Kong certificate is noted in the available information.
