Straight Line Crazy

a new play by David Hare | directed by Nicholas Hytner

★★★★★ ‘Another acting triumph from Fiennes’ (Guardian)

Faced with protesters with a very different idea of what the city should be, will the weakness of democracy be exposed in the face of his charismatic conviction?

For forty years, Robert Moses exploited those in office through a mix of charm and intimidation. Motivated by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created parks, bridges, and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors. Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter, Kingsman) plays Robert Moses in this blazing new play from David Hare (Skylight).
