Synopsis

Russia.

A beautiful country estate.

The mid-nineteenth century.

A handsome new tutor brings reckless, romantic desire to an eccentric household.

Over three days one summer the young and the old will learn lessons in love: first love and forbidden love, maternal love and platonic love, ridiculous love and last love.

The love left unsaid and the love which must out.

Ivan Turgenev's passionate, moving comedy, A Month in the Country , has been a source of inspiration for films, a ballet and the plays of Chekhov.

Patrick Marber's Three Days in the Country premiered at the National Theatre, London, in July 2015 in association with Sonia Friedman Productions.
