National Theatre Live: The Magistrate with John Lithgow

Tony Award-winner John Lithgow takes the title role in Arthur Wing Pinero’s uproarious Victorian farce, directed by Olivier Award-winner Timothy Sheader. When amiable magistrate Posket (John Lithgow) marries Agatha (Olivier Award-winner Nancy Carroll), little does he realise she’s dropped five years from her age—and her son’s. When her deception looks set to be revealed, it sparks a series of hilarious indignities and outrageous mishaps.
