Notes: | - | |||||
| Julian Mitchell's much-acclaimed play is set in an English public school in the early 1930s. The two central characters are outsiders: Guy Bennett, coming to terms with homosexuality, and Tommy Judd, a committed Marxist. 'In this subtle absorbing and deceptive play, Julian Mitchell persuasively examines the seeds of tribal snobberies sown in the pre-war heyday of the British public school and reaped today in a harvest of spy scandals in top places.' Daily Mail | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Anton Chekhov (Uncle Vanya | |||||
Synopsis: | Chekhov's eloquent study of languid Russian landowners has been transposed by Julian Mitchell to Victorian north Wales in this stunning adaptation, which dispenses with many of the alienating Russian principles-confusing patronymics-and theatrical cliches -birch forests and samovars -that characterise most modern British productions. Anthony Hopkins played Ieuan Davies in the acclaimed original production for Theatr Clwyd in 1994. | |||||
