In Clifford Odets' classic American play Golden Boy, the gifted young violinist Joe Bonaparte is lured away from his dreams of music and into the brutal world of professional boxing at the height of the Great Depression. In a new revival of the play, Josh O'Connor (Challengers, La Chimera, Wake Up Dead Man) stars as Bonaparte, with a live string quartet soundtracking his pugilistic journey into the darkness and greed of 1930s New York.
