A Month In The Country review

Turgenev’s play is a delightful confection – putting raw emotion up against the rigours of society and the practicality of humankind. It has an intricate yet delicate plot, which can either bristle with fun and ingenuity or crash into a pit of maudlin reality. Happily, Schmidt’s production is of the former type: and while odd in some respects, it is diverting and enjoyable in ways that 200+ year old plays may not always be.
