sets
In rural Russia in the mid nineteenth century a brilliant anarchic young medical student arrives at the provincial family villa of his best friend Arkady for the summer vacation.
He wants to despise the family for their imperturbable complacency and bourgeois effeteness but he is tormented by conflicting emotions.
His desperate action has tragic consequences.
"The evening leaves you pondering not just the play's political implications but the ageless tragedy
Press Reviews
"A fine, solid piece of drama not just about the divisions between the different generations but also about nihilism, revolution and the immutability of love."
