Breaking the Silence - 07:45PM 16/05/2008
location - Nottingham Playhouse Theatre
Caught up in the maelstrom of post-revolutionary Russia, the Pesiakoff family lose their palatial Moscow home and are re-accommodated in a dilapidated imperial train, complete with their maid. Assigned the position of telephone inspector, Nikolai, unflappable and immaculate in his elegant English suit, soon neglects his duties for a private ambition: to be the first man in the world to record sound on film. We invite you to join this exuberant family as they clatter across the Soviet Union, striving to succeed and survive in a world with a dangerous and uncertain future. Stephen Poliakoff is widely regarded as one of the finest playwrights of his generation and Britain's foremost screenwriter. Inspired by the true history of his family, and originally commissioned by the RSC, this is the first major staging of the play in over twenty years. "One of the most thrillingly individual works of the last decade." The Sunday Times Director Esther Richardson Designer Jamie Vartan
