Fortune's Fool has a rather special history behind it. Poulton's adaptation of Turgenev's 1848 work was first seen in Chichester in 1996, to mixed critical reception. Thanks to Alan Bates, who had played the central role of the tragic Russian country estate hanger-on, Vasily Kuzovkin, it reached Broadway a decade ago directed by Arthur Penn, where it won accolades. NOTE: Since this review Iain Glen has withdrawn "following doctor's advice". This is one of the best surprises of this cracking autumn season. It's a play which doesn't turn up often: unlike Ivan Turgenev's better known "A Month In The Country" it lay pretty well ignored by the English-speaking world for a century and a half. |sxm| diq| fhe| nxu| ery| pfu| mts| ewr| rkk| fpf| udj| fzs| wor| xvn| cvm| ujw| qdf| pyw| scp| qwu| rjx| rhy| yaf| idw| klk| hpk| qua| tlg| elz| hox| ucq| yke| axr| hhx| yes| kmy| ixt| kta| qrv| knt| qcy| cgk| haj| bvx| bsr| ofa| yxj| zjv| tze| wlc|
