Sunstroke - Inspired by the stories of Anton Chekhov & Ivan Bunin

Details

A blisteringly hot Russian summer. A Muscovite banker meets a solitary married woman on the Russian Riviera and a dashing lieutenant on board a holiday steamer has a chance encounter with a beautiful young woman. In the intoxicating heat, passions burn high and their lives are changed forever. Two of the great masters of Russian literature, Anton Chekhov and Ivan Bunin, explore the bittersweet nature of love outside marriage, its romantic idealism and the painful realisation of irreversible loss. Belka Productions present the world premiere of a new show inspired by Anton Chekhov's The Lady with the Dog and Ivan Bunin's Sunstroke, in one of London's newest off-West End theatre
