Set behind closed doors during the filming of Cleopatra, Beyond the Frame is an intimate, emotionally charged exploration of the moment Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s legendary affair begins. Two of the world’s most famous actors collide — not as icons, but as flawed, grieving, intoxicatingly alive human beings. As desire intensifies and private wounds surface, love becomes both refuge and threat, blurring the line between performance and truth. This rehearsed reading focuses on language, chemistry, and emotional tension, offering a stripped-back encounter with a love story that would scandalise the world — and change them forever.
