MGC is delighted to announce that Michael Grandage will direct the world premiere of The Line of Beauty, adapted by Olivier Award nominee Jack Holden from Alan Hollinghurst’s Booker Prize-winning novel at the Almeida Theatre this autumn. 

I can’t explain it. I can’t explain any of it to you. The line of beauty which led me to him… to here. 

London. Summer, 1983. 

Nick Guest moves into the grand Notting Hill home of his university friend Toby — and into the dazzling world of Toby’s father Gerald, a newly elected Tory MP, his elegant wife Rachel, and their troubled daughter Cat. From private gardens to country estates, glittering parties to political dinners, Nick is swept up in a world of money, power and privilege. A world that promises everything — and exacts a cost. 

As he pursues beauty in all its forms — aesthetic, erotic, aspirational — Nick finds himself caught between the freedoms of desire and the rigid boundaries of class, sexuality and public image in a rapidly changing Britain. 

The Line of Beauty is a captivating portrait of Thatcher’s Britain at its most decadent and divisive, based on the Booker Prize-winning novel by “one of the greatest writers of our time” (The Guardian) Alan Hollinghurst.

The Line of Beauty runs from Tuesday 21 October – Saturday 29 November 2025.

We're delighted to announce that the MGC production of Red by John Logan will be available to stream this summer via National Theatre at Home. Directed by Michael Grandage, starring Alfred Molina as Mark Rothko and Alfred Enoch as his assistant, Ken, the production was filmed live during its 2018 West End run at Wyndham's Theatre. 

The production is released on 12th June. For more information see https://www.ntathome.com/coming-soon
