by Leo Tolstoy
Paris Jefferson as Anna Karenina and Peter Gowen as Levin
Set against the background of the snow-swept Russian Steppes, Anna Karenina is an epic story of love and loss.
In a glittering world of power and privilege, Anna Karenina, a sophisticated and beautiful society wife comes face to face with temptation and embarks on a tragically obsessive affair; while the aristocrat Constantine Levin, struggles with a love quest that will propel him towards a fate of a quite different kind.
From the bustle of a Moscow train station to the swish of a high society ballroom, we are taken on a monumental journey rich with vibrant characters, packed with stirring events and brimful of heartfelt passion.
This award-winning adaptation by Helen Edmundson has been described as 'dazzling' by The Times, 'compelling' by The Guardian and 'engrossing' by Time Out.
