A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Helen Edmundson's celebrated and exemplary adaptation (The Times) of Leo Tolstoy's enduring classic is a vibrant and deeply moving meditation on the nature of love. It was originally produced by Shared Experience on tour, winning the Time Out Award for Outstanding Theatrical Event of 1992. This edition was published alongside a revival of the play at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2011. 'I am very, very good at pretending, at playing the wife and mother, I have become an expert. I am alive and God has made me so that I need to live and love.' 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 man striving to find meaning in life and a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Helen Edmundson's other work includes adaptations of Calderón's Life is a Dream, Tolstoy's War and Peace, Jamila Gavin's Coram Boy (winner of the Time Out Live Award for Best Play), and George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss, and the original plays Mother Teresa is Dead and The Clearing (winner of the John Whiting Award).
