Tom Stoppard and André Previn, and Felix Barrett and Tom Morris discuss their vision for the play.

Maxine Doyle is the choreographer for Punchdrunk. For the 2009 staging of Every Good Boy Deserves Favour she worked with performers to create a dedicated movement language. In this film she talks about the concept behind the piece.

Felix Barrett and Tom Morris discuss the benefits of co-directing: explaining how the bouncing ideas off each other can lead to greater experimentation and a bolder vision, as well as a more encouraging atmosphere in the rehearsal room.

In 1977 The Royal Festival Hall premiered Tom Stoppard and André Previn’s Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. Incorporating a full orchestra, the play was rapturously received. Rarely performed owing to staging demands, in 2009 The National Theatre presented a dazzling revival of the play.
