★★★★‘Emilia Clarke is irresistible in Jamie Lloyd’s stripped back take on Chekov’s masterpiece’ Time Out

Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) makes her West End debut in this 21st Century retelling of Chekov’s tale exploring 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, Jamie Lloyd brings Anya Reiss’ adaptation of Anton Chekov’s classic play to stage. Filmed live in London’s West End.
