Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) makes her West End debut in this 21st century retelling of Anton Chekhov’s tale of love and loneliness.

A young woman is desperate for fame and a way out. A young man is pining after the woman of his dreams. A successful writer longs for a sense of achievement. An actress wants to fight the changing of the times. In an isolated home in the countryside, dreams lie in tatters, hopes are dashed, and hearts broken. With nowhere left to turn, the only option is to turn on each other.

Following his critically acclaimed five-star production of Cyrano de Bergerac (World Theatre in Sofia 2021), Jamie Lloyd brings Anya Reiss’ adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s classic play to stage. Filmed live in London’s West End.

Nomination for Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Directing (Jamie Lloyd) and for Best Actress (Indira Varma)

In English with Bulgarian subtitles.

The screening is a mutual initiative with Homo Ludens Foundation and is supported by National Culture Fund, programme One Year Grant 2022.
