Three Days in the Country

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.  Set on a beautiful country estate in the mid-nineteenth century, Marber’s remarkable new adaptation is set in motion by the arrival of a handsome new tutor. Over three action-packed and adventure-filled summer days, his arrival brings reckless, romantic desire to an eccentric household and lessons in love are learned by young and old alike: 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.
