Following a sold-out, critically acclaimed 2025 Welsh National Theatre production across Wales and London, Emmy® winner Matthew Rhys (“The Americans,” “Widow’s Bay,” “The Beast in Me”) brings his “stunning” (Times of London) portrayal of an acting legend to his Lincoln Center Theater debut.
On the night of his death, iconic stage and screen star Richard Burton offers his final performance: a passionate, poetic reflection on his own legacy. With tenderness, wry humor, and Shakespearean grandeur, Burton recalls a life shaped by love, tragedy, scandal – including his two explosive marriages to Elizabeth Taylor – and his own undeniable gifts.
