LAMDA presents Summerfolk by Maxim Gorky

Directed by Bill Alexander Designed by Sara Perks

At the turn of the 20th Century a group of Russian friends retreat for their annual summer holiday in the countryside. United by their place in history as an emergent Russian middle class, but disparate in their political views and private lives, their friendship will never be the same again come autumn.

Maxim Gorky's naturalistic masterpiece depicts Russia as it teeters on the edge of social upheaval - exploring the dreams, fears and vanities of one group of friends as they question their value in a transient society.
