Three Days in the Country

Ivan Turgenev, Patrick Marber

Overview

In 19th-century Russia, a handsome new tutor brings reckless, romantic desire to an eccentric household. Over three summer days, the young and the old learn lessons in love: first love and forbidden love; maternal love and platonic love; ridiculous love and last love; the love left unsaid and the love which must out.


Inspired by Ivan Turgenev's passionate, moving comedy A Month in the Country, Patrick Marber's Three Days in the Country premiered at the National Theatre, London, in July 2015.
