Dates & times
The reimagining of Anthony Quinn's novel Curtain Call centres on Jimmy Erskine, the Daily Chronicle's most famous and feared theatre critic of the age; David Brooke, with whom he clashes after recently inheriting the paper; and a young actress, Nina Land who is devastated by Jimmy's recent negative review of her.
As the three become entangled in a whodunnit wrapped in a Faustian pact, their strange triangle winds tighter and tighter to devastating effect for all those caught in the deadly web of blackmail and betrayal.
Director: Anand Tucker
Cast: Gemma Arterton, Ian McKellen, Mark Strong, Lesley Manville
"McKellen, who relishes another devious character to sink his teeth into, devouring every scene, a deliciously caustic turn that will provide him with nothing but the finest notices."Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
