SUMMERFOLK

Written by Maxim Gorky & Adapted by Robert Johnson

 
 

23 - 26 MARCH 2017, THEATRE WORKS' THE PARISH

A large ensemble of friends are on vacation. Isolated and shielded from the tumultuous events of an empire in upheaval, these summer guests are free to enjoy life at leisure. But the call of revolution cannot be ignored by several members of the party. The play is an overwhelming call to arms – it is a gigantic invitation to live and embrace a life of passion, fulfilment and agency.

 

'Ought to be seen by as many people as possible . . .Between anger, tears of mirth, and despair, the play will bring you along on an emotional journey unlike any other.'

- Aiden Johnson, Pop-Culture-y
