Royal Shakespeare Company, directed by Trevor Nunn.
Anton Chekhov's masterpiece entwines comic and tragic situations in the lives of a famous actress, her son and their lovers. As the young strive for fulfilment, their older counterparts look back to youthful dreams that remain unrealised.
'Nunn directs an unexpectedly rollicking production... Frances Barber sets the tone as a hilarious Arkadina... again and again in this show Nunn and his company combine wild laughter with bitter tears'
Daily Telegraph
'Romola Garai's Nina is a revelation. The supporting performances reach superlative heights'
