Theatre
A Month in the Country
Donmar Warehouse
A woman's carefully ordered life fractures when a young tutor arrives at her country house. Turgenev's anatomy of desire, adapted by Brian Friel, becomes a study in how we rationalize away our own unhappiness. It's about the gap between the life you're supposed to want and the one you actually crave.
Lyndsey Turner directs this as psychological drama, characters circling each other, truths surfacing through conversation. The Donmar's intimacy keeps the pressure close. Go if you want intelligent, unshowy theatre about desire and constraint, played with the understanding that neither choice comes cheap.
