“
Everything is finished. I have nothing but you… remember that
Contrasting with this tale of destructive love is the story of Levin, an idealistic man striving to find meaning in life – and a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself. Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is one of the greatest novels of all time and in Helen Edmundson’s celebrated adaptation it becomes a deeply moving meditation on the nature of love. This vibrant and highly physical new production brings a fresh take on this timeless story.
