A rich evocation of a world poised on the brink of Stalin's Great
Terror, based on the 1994 Oscar-winning film written by Nikita
Mikhalkov and Rustam Ibragimbekov. General Kotov, decorated hero of
the Russian Revolution, is spending an idyllic summer in the
country with his beloved young wife and family. But on one glorious
sunny morning in 1936, his wife's former lover returns from a long
and unexplained absence. Amidst a tangle of sexual jealousy,
retribution and remorseless political backstabbing, Kotov feels the
full, horrifying reach of Stalin's rule. Peter Flannery's play
Burnt by the Sun was first staged at the National Theatre, London,
in the Lyttelton auditorium, in March 2009, in a production
directed by Howard Davies.
