National Theatre Live: Retrograde

Hollywood's so-called Golden Age. Ten years before becoming the first Black man to win an Oscar, a young Sidney Poitier arrives to sign a life-changing contract that could make him a star. But there's a catch. As he becomes entangled in events larger than he imagined, Sidney is forced to make an impossible choice; one that will reshape his future, the Civil Rights Movement, and the soul of a nation. Exploring integrity, betrayal, and the personal cost of success, Retrograde asks what would you sacrifice to achieve your dream?
