1917, Petrograd, Russia, the day after the Tsar was deposed by the Bolsheviks. Hiding in his house is Rostov, an aristocrat from the old regime. When the Communists storm the house they discover more than they bargained for - tempting mistresses, mysterious butlers, and dangerous windows. Funny and tragic, disturbing and compelling, this production will transport you to a world where vodka flows freely, wardrobes are larger than feasibly possible, and where the old world clashes with the new. Winner of Cambridge s most prestigious prize for new writing, the Marlowe RSC Other Prize, Rostov s House will make you question the morality of politics and society at times of great upheaval, while letting you realise just how strong loyalty can actually be. With the might of the RSC and the Marlowe Society behind it, this satire guarantees to leave you thoroughly entertained, though maybe still pondering a few questions - Just who is Rostov?
