Michael Grandage directs Chekhov’s Ivanov, in a new version by Tom Stoppard, which launches the Donmar Warehouse’s year-long residency at the West End’s Wyndham’s Theatre. Kenneth Branagh stars in the title role.
Once a man of limitless promise, Ivanov is plunged into debt. His marriage is in crisis, and his evenings are spent negotiating loans, avoiding love affairs and fighting to resist the small town jealousies and intrigues which threaten to engulf his life.
