Played at Olivier Theatre from 6 Mar 2026 to 29 Apr 2026.
It’s a hot, beautiful summer in 1905, and Russia’s elite retreat to the countryside to swim, sip champagne and start affairs.
When they’re having this much fun, why care about anything else? But Varvara just can’t shake the feeling that their holiday idyll is built on borrowed time.
As the party continues, how long can they ignore the storm on the horizon?
Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge) directs Maxim Gorky’s razor-sharp portrait of class, privilege and denial, revived for 2026 in a fresh new adaptation from Nina Raine(Bach & Sons) and Moses Raine (Donkey Heart).
__For assisted performances, please book directly through the National Theatre.__
