WILD HONEY opens at the Hampstead Theatre
WILD HONEY opens tonight at the Hampstead Theatre and runs until the 21st of January!
Are you really such a terrible Don Juan? You look so handsome in the moonlight!
Village schoolmaster Platonov has it all: wit, intelligence, a comfortable and respectable life in provincial Russia, and the attentions of four beautiful women - one of whom is his devoted wife… As summer arrives and the seasonal festivities commence, the rapidly intensifying heat makes everyone giddy with sunlight, vodka – and passion.
Michael Frayn’s comedy of errors, drawn from Chekhov’s untitled – and posthumously discovered - early play, is a tale of nineteenth century Russian life replete with classic misunderstandings, irrepressible desires and nostalgia for a vanishing world.
Hampstead Theatre’s Associate Artist Howard Davies returns following his acclaimed productions of Hapgood by Tom Stoppard and Drawing the Line and 55 Days by Howard Brenton. Recent directing credits include An Enemy of the People (Chichester).
Jonathan Kent is to complete Howard Davies’ work on his production of Wild Honey and will facilitate its full stage presentation.
Justine Mitchell plays Anna Petrovna.
