Overview
Vronsky, what were you thinking about with your head stuck to the
watering can? Anna Oh, the same, always the same. I was thinking about
my happiness and about my unhappiness. Russia is changing.
Rules have been broken. Chaos is looming. Families are falling apart.
Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is an examination of a country in the midst of
extraordinary change. Through the impact of one woman's decision, it
looks at the troubling cost of love on the human soul. Marina Carr
brings a new perspective to Anna Karenina in her stage adaptation of
this epic love story, which opened at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in
December 2016.
