Mike Leigh Videos

Watch the trailer for the new West End murder mystery film See How They Run, starring Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan. The film takes place in the West End of 1950s London, as plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after the film’s Hollywood director is murdered.

Internationally acclaimed and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Mike Leigh portrays one of the bloodiest episodes in British history, the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, where government-backed cavalry charged into a peaceful crowd of 80,000 that gathered in Manchester, England to demand democratic reform.

San Francisco Playhouse (Bill English, Artistic Director and Susi Damilano, Producing Director) continues its Tenth Season, now in their new venue at 450 Post Street, with a revival of Mike Leigh's acclaimed play, Abigail's Party, directed by Amy Glazer. Check out a behind-the-scenes look below!
