Elsinore

BAFTA winner Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers) delivers an extraordinary, career-best performance in ELSINORE, a sweeping biographical drama that follows the real-life story of actor Ian Charleson and his courageous decision to play Hamlet at London’s National Theatre while battling AIDS in 1989. Widely known for his leading role in the 1981 sports-drama Chariots of Fire, Ian Charleson yearns to return to his theatre roots and away from the spotlight of Hollywood. When the role of a lifetime appears, to play Hamlet at London’s National Theatre, so too does an AIDS diagnosis. Confronting his own mortality, Charleson must decide how he wants his final act to play out. Alongside the always phenomenal Academy Award Winner Olivia Colman, Scott firmly establishes himself at the forefront of this year’s Best Actor conversation, disappearing into a towering performance that pulses with unbridled passion and humanity. ELSINORE is a stirring celebration of performance and the enduring power of art in the face of unimaginable adversity.
