Annapurna Theatre’s Beat The Devil is now streaming for subscribers on Showtime in the United States, with additional territories to be announced.
The film is written and directed by David Hare and stars Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominee Ralph Fiennes. It is based on the stage play of the same name that premiered at London’s Bridge Theatre. The stage production, commissioned by London Theatre Company and originally directed by Nicholas Hytner, saw Fiennes give one of his greatest performances in a sold-out run.
Beat The Devil recounts Hare’s experience contracting Covid-19 on the day the UK Government made the decision to go into lockdown. Suffering a pageant of apparently random symptoms, he recalls the delirium of his illness, which, mixed with fear, dreams, honest medicine and politics, creates a story of urgency and power.
