Ivanov

Scarcely a year after he gave Ibsen’s The Lady from the Sea his own inimitable treatment, writer-director Simon Stone returns the Bridge to turns his hand to another classic. Concerning a washed up middle aged man fixated on his glory days, Ivanov is one of Chekhov’s lesser-known full-length plays, albeit it still gets done semi regulalry. Not that this will be particularly recognisable: Stone’s modern adaptations are extremely free with the source material. Starring in the title role is Hollywood star Chris Pine, best know for his major roles in the recent Star Trek and Wonder Woman films.
