Played a limited engagement in England in 2019, and was supposed to transfer to the Old Vic in early 2020, but was canceled due to the pandemic. A new production is set to open in Chichester in October. The 2019 production received some very positive reviews, with additional music from Mark Knopfler. I’ve always loved this film (especially the score), though I’m not sure it’s widely known. I’d love to see it here one day, though I doubt it would gather a wide audience.
