- Critics have often said that Michael Dobbs's work has the extraordinary ability to bring history to life. So with the enouragement of many friends in 2009 he wrote 'The Turning Point' for the Sky Arts Theatre Live! series. It was his first play, and starred Benedict Cumberbatch and Matthew Marsh. It proved to be a sensational success.
The play is built around a meeting in 1938 between Winston Churchill and Guy Burgess, at a point when the world was falling apart. They were both lonely men. A few years later, one had come to be regarded as The Greatest Briton, the other as The Greatest Traitor. But were they so very different?

"Drown in self pity if you must but don't take the entire world with you."
I love that line so much. IDK if it's because of Bennie's delivery or the fact that it could be applicable to the current political state of the US. In fact, most of the lines here could be applicable to today.
He is very attractive when being passionate. Man he is such a good actor.
Wow, incredible, I think it's time I started watching more stage productions.
However I must admit I came for Benedict, and was not disappointed, he was mesmerizing here, as he almost always is. I think he may be one of the greatest of his generation
Agreed!
this is amazing! once Benedict said that the most difficult part of the job was learning the lines, he can act for over half an hour with no disctractions. and he said it was difficult!? the man is brilliant!
I prefer theater over movies. You can feel the emotion on the stage, live.
Great performance, Benedict (:
I agree with you in the sense that, its a full performance, no editing, just straight emotion and body language. I think as an actor you can learn more from watching a stage performance.
Every time he called him Mr. BBC, I couldn't help but think of Sherlock... xD
Wow Benedict was amazing and I love the way he said the fucked bit about the Dad so casually lol. I think I might watch more stage performances. Thanks for Sharing.
Thank you for posting this as I haven't had the opportunity to see anything Benedict Cumberbatch has done in theater. This was wonderful to see.
Winston Churchill really did gift Burgess with a signed book of his speeches, ARMS AND THE COVENANT. Churchill inscribed it with: “To Guy Burgess, from Winston S Churchill. To confirm his admirable sentiments, Munich, September 1938." Then Churchill said, "If I am returned to power, if you need a job, come and see me and present this book and I will see to it that you are suitably employed.”
amazing.. i am seriously fighting an impulse to take tons of Benedict's pics, he can memorize his lines non stop for almost half an hour.. brilliant..
"Well, it's almost eleven. Why not?" Burgess used to start drinking earlier than that. Really good play. Thanks.
Great play from Benedict and from Matthew Marsh as well. Thank you for it, it was a joy to watch!
What a treat to be able to see this. Thank you for uploading. Brilliant writing and performances...particularly Benedict Cumberbatch playing Guy Burgess.
Very good Mr Turing
This is wonderful. Thank you very much for sharing this. Their lines, words, how they breath out these powerful words... Great!
I love all his WWII related performances . My dad was a navigator in WWII .
It was very interesting. I really enjoyed it! Then to find out that Benedict's character Guy Burgess was a traitor! OMG!
Guy Burgess would have been hurt to be considered a traitor, and indeed he was hurt; ending his days in an alcoholic blur in a lonely flat in Moscow. The tragedy of Burgess is he really loved his country, he just hated the inequality in the way it was run. Burgess was a communist and, in the 1930s, that wasn't a dirty word. He believed everyone should have the same opportunities and he made a deal with the KGB whilst at Cambridge to work for them with the aim of achieving a more equal British society along the lines he believed Russia was run in the light of the revolution. In an ironic way, Burgess was a deeply honourable man: he made a commitment to a cause as a very young man and he stuck by it for the rest of his life.

Markxist I wonder if Guy Burgess was an inspiration behind John le Carré's plot for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?

Fantastic performances
My God! That was incredibly good! So well written and they put on a brilliant performance. I didn't think this would be something I would enjoy but what an interesting bit of history! Bravo!
This is amazing, thank you so much for this!!! One day I hope to see Benedict in a live show, one day... Hopefully he'll do live theatre again despite his fame.
Matthew Marsh was great too. And to do that live in front of TV cameras is immensely brave from both men.
=^-^=
Hehe, Benedict swearing :') just sounds perfect okay
I love the music
Wonderful! WWII has been my obsession for years. This was right down my alley. Great job to the cast!
That was phenominal...bravo Ben bravo
I've just seen Matthew Marsh in 'The Crucible'. Has that man got stage presence! And the resonant voice, a bit of a rarity nowadays, was used to perfection for Churchill. If one looked away, it could have been the great man himself speaking. Superb!
"Your not the man i thought you where."
Me: jaaawn.
Benedict is sooooo talented. How does he remember all that text?
Wow! it was brilliant! I smiled and cried a bit... great play!
MY SILENT WAR by Kim Philby: "During my youth in the 1930s two paths were presented to me---the rank appeasement of nazis under PMs Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain or the opposition of USSR. But for the power of the USSR and the Communist idea, the whole world would now be ruled by hitler and hirohito. It is a matter of great pride to me that I was invited at so early an age, to play my infinitesimal part in building up that power. How, where and when I became a member of the Soviet intelligence service is a matter to myself and my comrades. I will only say that when the proposition was made to me, I did not hesitate. One does not look twice at an offer of enrollment in an elite force."
Epitome of talent
Wow I want to see him live!!
This is great. Seen in company with The Gathering Storm its a terrific history lesson.
This is good. I very rarely have a chance to see Ben in a short play (or see him in person) so this is a treat. thank you for this XLadyClaireX
Muy God!! Both of them were amazing

One can only hope!!! But I can imagine he would do that yes, he certainly doesn't seem the type to let fame go to his head. I really hope we're right :) And then I just need to fly to England!
=^-^=
KatPro23 when you do, take me with you!

"Heavens, do you think I'm some sort of double agent?"
This is brilliant. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for sharing ♥
Bravo!
omg at 6:23 I thought they were going to sing to eachother
Loved it!
About the Edouard Peiffer they talked about in the play : « Édouard Daladier avait pour chef de cabinet un espion soviétique. Et pas un besogneux. Cet homme, Édouard Pfeiffer, mourut près d'Agen en 1966, sans avoir jamais été mis en cause. C'était le membre inconnu du réseau des étudiants dits « les taupes de Cambridge », Burgess, MacLean, Blunt et Philby (...). Le M 6 britannique pria Pfeiffer de travailler pour le 2e bureau français. Avocat, puis assureur à Paris, parlant seize langues, dirigeant radical-socialiste, répandu dans le monde politique, Pfeiffer fut donc - impunément - un agent triple. Pour qui travaillait-il, d'abord auprès de Daladier et de Chautemps, puis dans l'entourage de Lemaigre Dubreuil et de Mendès France88 ? »
So Edouard Pfeifer was an unknown soviétique spy who never has been suspected all his life...
Thanx for this drama
I'm just a bit bothered that Guy left his hat on the way out :))
Bu other than that i love it
+kim donato He put his hat in his coat pocket.
The english substitles selfgenerated helps a lot despite there're are a few mistakes, most of the time on the names... So for this video try the substitles if you're note a native spoken english....
I always wonder what they are drinking. Is it apple juice or something else becaues I do not think they would want to risk getting drunk on stage. They wasted alot of smokes. I do not think he smoked a full one.
Apple juice for whisky/brandy, ginger ale for champagne. That's how it goes.
18:30 21:26. Nice saves!!
18:30
21:26
I thought exactly the same thing...
He said in an interview that he doesn't... But I'm not sure
Omg Benedict smoking is soooo so hot I just can't stand it! WHAT IS AIR
Who were on the live music?
whats going on with churchills accent?
Marvelous 😍. As a consumed cumberbitch, I'd had been screaming. Not very proper behaviour for theatre, anyway.
22:37 Well today is Benedict Cumberbatch birthday and now he's 42 y/o😂
Adlina Hadidi He’s 43...
@@XLadyClaireX oh ur right! he's 43
When did Sir Winston Churchill acquire a South African accent?
Okay, now I'm upset. So Guy was a traitor.
WTF!??
