L'Artistic Director del Donmar Tim Sheader e l'Executive Director Henny Finch hanno annunciato il cast completo e il team creativo per A Month in the Country, di Brian Friel, dopo Ivan Turgenev. Le performance si svolgeranno dal 22 agosto al 3 ottobre.
Sophie Okonedo guida la compagnia come Natalya Petrovna, e la affiancano Thomas Arnold (Arkady Islayev), Jessica Brindle (Katya), Susan Brown (Anna Islayeva), Rachelle Diedericks (Vera Aleksandrovna), Patrick Gibson (Aleksey Belyayev), Mark Hadfield (Herr Schaaf), Michael Hodgson (Alfanasy Bolshintsov), Jonathan Livingstone (Matvey), Alistair Petrie (Michel Rakitin), Daniel Rigby (Ignaty Shpigelsky), e Amanda Wilkin (Lizaveta Bogdanovna).
Unendosi a Lyndsey Turner per completare il team creativo sono Leslie Travers (Designer), Max Pappenheim (Sound Designer), Tim Lutkin (Lighting Designer); Anna Morrissey (Movement Director & Intimacy Coordinator), Angus MacRae (Composer), e Lotte Hines CDG (Casting Director).
Centinaia di donne mi invidierebbero, vero? Una bella casa nella campagna russa. Un marito premuroso, un circolo di ammiratori. Una vita di ordine, tranquillità e sobria moderazione. È abbastanza per farti urlare.
Natalya Petrovna sembra a tutti gli effetti una donna soddisfatta, ma l'arrivo di un giovane tutore senza un soldo agita un cuore inquieto, accendendo una scintilla di desiderio che infiamma l'estate.
A Month in the Country contrappone la passione alla correttezza, mentre un cast di personaggi cerca di conciliare le vite che conducono con la felicità che desiderano. Lyndsey Turner dirige la riscrittura di Brian Friel dell'opera più famosa di Turgenev.
