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.

Carolyn German's New Z. Alexander Looby Play Takes Shape for 2010 Opening
by Jeffrey Ellis - Dec 4, 2009


Like hundreds, maybe even thousands, of other Nashvillians before and since, Carolyn German would walk through the lobby of the Z. Alexander Looby Theatre, passing by the historical marker heralding Looby's role in Nashville history without really giving it much thought. Then one day, during a visit to the Looby Center in her role as director of theatre for Metro Nashville Parks, German stopped and read intently the information included on the plaque, learning that Looby was an attorney who played in a key role in Nashville's storied civil rights history.
