The White Guard - 2010 - West End History , Info & More

National Theatre (Lyttelton)
(Waterloo) South Bank London

Following the successes of Russian epics Burnt by the Sun and Philistines, the National stages Andrew Upton’s vigorous new version of Mikhail Bulgakov’s rarely performed masterpiece, unrivalled in its depiction of the near-farcical mayhem of civil war across a vast and vivid canvas.



In Kiev during the Russian Civil War, the Turbin household is sanctuary to a ragtag, close-knit crowd presided over by the beautiful Lena. As her brothers prepare to fight for the White Guard, friends charge in from the riotous streets amidst an atmosphere of heady chaos, quaffing vodka, keeling over, declaiming, taking baths, playing guitar, falling in love.



But the new regime is poised and in its brutal triumph lies destruction for the Turbins and their world.



NT Associate Howard Davies directs this major new production of The White Guard, featuring a fantastic NT ensemble cast.

BWW Review: Rebecca Northan's 'Blind Date'
by Kelly Cameron - Mar 17, 2010


Rebecca Northan's wildly popular improv comedy Blind Date just finished a sold-out three week run as part of Harbourfront Centre's World Stage 2010 Season. Funny and charming, I had a wonderful time watching 'Mimi' woo her date of the evening! This is a little show with big potential, and I encourage all BWW readers to see it if they are ever given the chance. I suspect Ms. Northan could be Canada's own Carrie Bradshaw!
