Notes:

by Alexander Pushkin. A New Adaptation by Raymond Blankenhorn and Max Hoehn

Synopsis:

A mental patient is confined to his cell, refusing to answer any questions. He keeps muttering Three Seven, Ace! Three, Seven, Queen! His past life is revealed to us in a series of dreams that take us from the bedroom of an old, dying Countess to the gambling tables of St. Petersburg. Alexander Pushkins dark short story is a classic of Russian literature. Here it is reinvented for the stage in a new adaptation as a thrilling drama of the imagination, bringing the lyricism and satirical qualities of the original to life. An unmissable opportunity to experience the work of Russia's greatest poet in the UK.
