The latest in the James Bridges Theatre's series of HD broadcasts of British productions, Travelling Light is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood's golden age. Anchored by a standout performance from Tony and Olivier Award winner Antony Sher, the play imagines the birth of silent film in a remote village at the turn of the century. Forty years later, the young director -- now a famous American filmmaker -- looks back on his life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his cinematic dreams in this humorous, touching work from writer Nicholas Wright.

Interesting story within a story but false, inconsistent accents, shtetl stereotypes and caricatures were off-putting.

Description

Motl Mendl, who’s entranced by the flickering silent images on his father’s cinematograph, makes this small Jewish community his camera’s focus. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling.

Forty years on, Motl – now a famed American film director – looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams. Nicholas Wright’s new play is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood’s golden age, and stars Tony and Olivier award winner, Antony Sher.
