Synopsis

National Theatre Live: Best of Enemies

In 1968 America, as two men fight to become the next president, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the unruly liberal Gore Vidal. During a new nightly television format, they debate the moral landscape of a shattered nation.

The Family McMullen

30 years after the events of The Brothers McMullen, romantic entanglements plague a now fiftysomething Barry McMullen and his twentysomething kids, as well as his brother Patrick and widowed sister-in-law Molly, who are also facing similar unexpected hurdles.
