Donmars konstnärlige ledare Tim Sheader och verkställande direktör Henny Finch har meddelat hela ensemblen och det kreativa teamet för A Month in the Country, av Brian Friel, efter Ivan Turgenev. Föreställningar kommer att äga rum 22 augusti - 3 oktober.
Sophie Okonedo leder ensemblen som Natalya Petrovna, och hon får sällskap av 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), och Amanda Wilkin (Lizaveta Bogdanovna).
Med Lyndsey Turner i spetsen omfattar det kreativa teamet Leslie Travers (Designer), Max Pappenheim (Ljuddesigner), Tim Lutkin (Ljustekniker); Anna Morrissey (Rörelseteknik & Intimitetskoordinator), Angus MacRae (Kompositör), och Lotte Hines CDG (Casting Director).
Hundratals kvinnor skulle avundas mig, eller hur? Ett vackert hus på den ryska landsbygden. En omtänksam make, en krets av beundrare. Ett liv av ordning, lugn och tyst återhållsamhet. Det är nog för att få någon att skrika.
Natalya Petrovna ser ut att vara en tillfreds kvinna, men ankomsten av en fattig ung lärare väcker ett rastlöst hjärta, och tänder en gnista av begär som sätter sommaren i lågor.
A Month in the Country ställer passion mot anständighet, medan en rad karaktärer kämpar för att förena de liv de lever med den lycka de längtar efter. Lyndsey Turner regisserar Brian Friels nybearbetning av Turgenevs mest kända pjäs.
