Summary
Married to a provincial governor, the punctilious Alexei Karenin, Anna revolts against her life of compromise when she meets the charming officer Count Vronsky. She embarks on a scandalous affair, which completely destroys her family life and brings her to the brink of destruction. Interspersed with Anna's tragic downfall is the story of Levin, an idealistic landowner striving to find meaning in his life - a character often seen as a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself. Helen Edmundson's adaptation is a meditation on the nature of love. It was first performed by Shared Experience at the Theatre Royal, Winchester, on 30 January 1992.
