ANNA KARENINA
at Theatre Royal
Anna is beautiful and admired, but empty, until a chance meeting with the handsome and dashing Vronsky throws her into emotional turmoil and a scandalous affair. Levin is an idealistic man trying to find the meaning of life.
Set 50 years after the events of War and Peace, Tolstoy explores themes of personal responsibility, fate and powerlessness through the two parallel lives. Both are pursuing happiness and defying convention, but one ends in tragedy and the other with a tantalising promise of hope.
Bury Theatre Workshop return to Theatre Royal with this powerful, passionate production.
