THE KREUTZER SONATA

By LEO TOLSTOY | Adapated by NANCY HARRIS

5 November - 12 December 2009

A man boards a train and in the confined space of the carriage potent memories are triggered. Soon his is confessing to a terrible crime, one for whihc he holds Beethoven's KREUTZER SONATA repsonsible.

In 1889, Leo Tolstoy wrote a novella which became instantly notorious. He hoped one day to see it performed to the accompaniment of live music - but it was not to be.

Over a century later musicians and actors come together to bring the story to life for the stage.

A new play about death, desire and Beethoven.
