Emmy Award winner Matthew Rhys stars in this fascinating and
award-winning one-man show about international star of stage and screen
Richard Burton. Written by Mark Jenkins, Playing Burton offers a
penetrating look at the notorious actor's life, from growing up in an
impoverished mining community in South Wales to becoming one of the
greatest performers of his generation. Following his passionate, though
tempestuous, love affair with Elizabeth Taylor and his tragic - and very
public - battle with alcoholism, Playing Burton is a soulful
exploration of fame, ambition, and identity told from the perspective of
the megastar who experienced it all.
Please note Playing Burton contains adult language and themes.
