AnnaKareninaBy Helen Edmundson
AnnaKareninaBy Helen EdmundsonAdapted from the novel by Leo Tolstoy
Everything is finished. I have nothing but you… remember that
Anna is beautiful and admired but empty - until a chance meetingthrows her into emotional turmoil and a scandalous affair.
Contrasting with this tale of destructive love is the story of Levin, anidealistic man striving to find meaning in life – and a self-portrait ofTolstoy himself.
Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is one of the greatest novels of all time andin Helen Edmundson’s celebrated adaptation it becomes a deeplymoving meditation on the nature of love. This vibrant and highlyphysical new production brings a fresh take on this timeless story.
