This Old Vic production was recorded through National Theatre Live on 14th May 2019.
America, 1947. Despite hard choices and even harder knocks, Joe and Kate Keller are a success story. They have built a home, raised two sons and established a thriving business.

With the return of a figure from the past, long buried truths are forced to the surface and the price of their American dream is laid bare.
From the Old Vic, Jeremy Herrin directs Sally Field and Bill Pullman in Arthur Miller’s blistering drama.

Écrite par Marius Gottin, Wopso ! est considérée comme un classique du répertoire théâtral martiniquais. Quelles sont les raisons d'un tel succès ? Cette pièce met en scène deux hommes, Auguste et Fulbert, attendant leur avion pour Sainte-Lucie, île voisine de la Martinique. Ce temps d'attente dans un aéroport - lieu de passage, de transition - est l'occasion pour eux de se remémorer le passé : leurs anecdotes individuelles se mêlent aux évènements politiques et sociaux d'une époque troublée. La langue de chacun des personnages, les intonations, le ryhtme de la parole, le corps témoignent d'une appartenance à une culture authentique dont ils sont les fiers représentants. Une interrogation sur l'amitié, l'amour et la mort.
