At Lyttelton Theatre, National

Burnt By The Sun Reviews
"This one's a cracker. Based on a Russian/French movie that won the Oscar for best foreign film in 1994, Burnt by the Sun starts out like something by Chekhov and ends up as a gripping Stalinist thriller"
Daily Telegraph
"Burnt By The Sun brings Russian history into riveting close-up"
Evening Standard
"Rory Kinnear brilliantly conveys Mitia's mix of vindictiveness and self-hatred, Michelle Dockery's Maroussia has a luminous, tragic beauty"
The Guardian
