Close-up film still of a man in his thirties with light brown hair, blue eyes, and a serious expression, wearing a tan blazer, light blue shirt, and dark red patterned tie. He stands indoors against a blurred warm-toned background with angular wooden beams and geometric light patterns, looking directly at the camera.

About Primetime

It’s the age old question in television - how far would you go for ratings? That question is at the very heart of this vivid ‘inspired-by-true-life’ drama about Chris Hansen, the controversial presenter of 2000s TV hit To Catch A Predator, as played by Robert Pattinson.

It’s 2006 and despite its unconventional methods in luring men with sexual interest in minors to a sting operation, To Catch a Predator is a US TV hit that rivals the ratings of TV blockbuster Lost. When executives decide to move the show to a primetime slot, Hansen and his production team must up the ante to keep their audience, taking them down a morally murky path that ultimately leads to bloodshed.

Rows of onlookers, judges, and officials fill the surrounding balconies and gallery seats, all facing him.

  3. Production photo from the musical Hadestown, showing the full ensemble on a wooden stage set designed like a tavern, with a live band positioned on platforms to either side. In the center, Hermes sings into a vintage microphone wearing a light gray suit, gesturing toward the audience. To his left, Eurydice stands alone in a black coat with a backpack, looking toward him. To his right, Orpheus stands in a cream-colored work shirt and apron with a red cloth in his hand, gazing back at Eurydice across the circle. Behind Hermes, the ensemble of workers reaches out with extended arms, while three women in patterned dresses pose dramatically upstage with their arms raised. The scene is lit in warm amber tones downstage and cool blue light upstage.
