Golden Boy

In 1930s New York, Joe Bonaparte, a gifted violinist, is drawn into the brutal world of professional boxing, torn between fame, forbidden love, and family expectations. This searing revival of Clifford Odets’ American classic is directed by Olivier Award winner Sam Yates and stars Emmy and Golden Globe winner Josh O’Connor, exploring ambition and the high price of success.
