WRITTEN BY: Maxim Gorky. Version by Nick Dear
DIRECTED BY: Kirstie Davies
Dreams of change… while life quietly slips away.
In this electrifying adaptation of Maxim Gorky’s Summerfolk, a group of privileged friends escape to the countryside expecting rest, romance and lively debate. Instead, buried frustrations surface as ideals clash with reality. They talk passionately about progress, justice and change — but when action is required, who will step forward? Funny, provocative and painfully recognisable, Summerfolk captures a generation caught between comfort and conscience, asking whether intelligence alone is ever enough to change the world.
