Travelling Light at The Historic Theater

Following Vincent in Brixton and The Reporter, this new play by renowned UK playwright Nicholas Wright is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood’s golden age. The award-winning Antony Sher–whose previous work with the National Theatre includes Primo and Stanley–returns to play Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant who bankrolls the young cinematic pioneer Motl Mendl. Travelling Light is directed by Nicholas Hytner.
