Today, 8.4 million people live in New York City, a bustling metropolis where something’s happening on every street corner. But what went into creating this concrete jungle? Discover how the city’s landscape changed in the world premiere play of *Straight Line Crazy*, following one man’s influence in creating the city’s landscape. Book *Straight Line Crazy* tickets now on TodayTix. 

The *Straight Line Crazy* play centres on Robert Moses, a public official whose career spanned over five decades. During his working life, he served on the New York State Council of Parks and was the New York Secretary of State. 

At the start of his career, he helped create dozens of bridges and miles of road to better serve the community. His charm helped him. His intimidating presence ensured that everyone listened to him. This change was met by public outcry though, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography by Robert Caro took Robert Moses down. Regardless of his actions, Moses changed the New York City skyline, but at what cost?

*Straight Line Crazy* in London is the world premiere of David Hare’s newest play. The British playwright is one of four writers to win two Olivier Awards for Best Play, previously winning for *Racing Demons* and *Skylight*. His latest play is set to explore New York City in the twentieth century for a London audience. Nicholas Hytner directs *Straight Line Crazy*, with a scenic design by Bob Crowley that’ll erect New York City skyscrapers on the other side of the pond. Book *Straight Line Crazy* tickets in London on TodayTix. 

## What to Watch For

- Ralph Fiennes leads the world premiere cast of *Straight Line Crazy* as Robert Moses. On screen, Fiennes has played Lord Voldemort in the *Harry Potter* film series, as well as *The Grand Budapest Hotel*. He’s a West End regular too, recently in *Four Quartets* at the Harold Pinter Theatre.
- David Hare’s play *Straight Line Crazy* is his second play to premiere at the Bridge Theatre. His 2020 play, *Beat the Devil*, reopened the Bridge Theatre after the pandemic. 
- At one time, Robert Moses held 12 official titles in New York City and the surrounding areas. He was never elected to public office.
- During Moses’ time as a public official, he had built 658 playgrounds and 13 bridges in New York City.

Ralph Fiennes will star in the world premiere of David Hare’s play *Straight Line Crazy* at the Bridge Theatre. Fiennes will play New York City public official Robert Moses in the brand new play, opening in 2022. *Straight Line Crazy* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

The *Straight Line Crazy* play  explores how the streets of New York City dramatically changed during the 20th century. Right at the heart of this change was Robert Moses, a public official whose career spanned over five decades. He served as the chairman of New York State Council of Parks for nearly 40 years. He held the title of New York Secretary of State. For 18 years, he commissioned New York City planning works. Surely, somebody whose job was focused on helping his community would be considered a good man in the history books. 

During Moses’ time as a New York City public official, he had built 658 playgrounds, 11 pools and 13 bridges, including the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge. For all this beneficial community work, his steely presence which dominated the city was met by public outcry. In 1974, Robert Caro’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography The Power Broker took Robert Moses down. Straight Line Crazy examines the drastic changes that took place to the NYC skyline, as well as the impacts it had on locals. 

Ralph Fiennes leads the *Straight Line Crazy* London cast as Robert Moses. *Straight Line Crazy* will mark Fiennes’ second Bridge Theatre show since the pandemic, previously starring in *Beat the Devil*. He’s also been in T. S. Eliot’s *Four Quartets* at the Harold Pinter Theatre. For *Straight Line Crazy*, Fiennes reunites with playwright David Hare and director Nicholas Hytner. They’ll be joined by Bob Crowley, providing scenic design for *Straight Line Crazy* to capture the New York City landscape at the central London venue.

Tickets to *Straight Line Crazy* are available now. Book *Straight Line Crazy* tickets on London Theatre today.

Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr spearhead the Bridge Theatre. Having worked together at the [National Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/national-theatre) for over a decade as artistic and executive directors, Hytner and Starr formed the London Theatre Company as part of their efforts to open the largest Off-West End commercial theatre. The 900-seater auditorium is very adaptable and allows shows to be presented in end-on, thrust and promenade formats. 

Production aside, the theatre was praised for its abundance of ladies toilets and its on-site kitchen which, among other things, provides treats freshly baked on site during the interval. 

In 2017, the theatre's inaugural season included a new Richard Bean play *Young Marx*, starring [Rory Kinnear](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/rory-kinnear) and Oliver Chris, *Julius Caesar* starring Ben [Whishaw](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/ben-whishaw) and David Calder, and a new play by Nina Raine about the life of JS Bach starring [Simon Russell Beale](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/simon-russell-beale).

Notable plays at the Bridge Theatre include *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,* as well as *My Name is Lucy Barton* and *Straight Line Crazy* — the latter two both transferring to New York.
