Anna is beautiful and admired but empty -- until a chance meeting throws her into emotional turmoil and a scandalous affair. Contrasting with this tale of destructive love is the story of Levin, an idealistic young man striving to find meaning in life -- and a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself.
Helen Edmundson's stage adaptation of Anna Karenina was first performed by Shared Experience at the Theatre Royal, Winchester, in January 1992 at the start of a nationwide tour. The production went on to win the Time Out Award for Outstanding Theatrical Event of 1992.
This edition of the play was published alongside a revival at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2011.
REVIEWS:
"Theatre this engrossing is rare."
Time Out
"The aim is not to report the novel but to recreate it as a piece of theatre... a dramatisation which is symbolically accurate as well as theatrically compelling."
