Watch the theatrical hit in your own home

Four years ago, Helen McCrory delivered a tour-de-force performance as Hester Collyer, the unhappily married wife of a High Court judge, in what is regarded by some as Terence Rattigan’s best play – and now there’s a chance for us all to see it. Tom Burke, who’s become known since then for his role in J. K. Rowling’s Strike series, also stars as a former RAF pilot with whom Hester has an affair in the hope of filling an emotional void in her life. National Theatre/YouTube, from Thursday
