The Retreat from Moscow

Round House Theatre Bethesda presents The Retreat from Moscow, by William Nicholson, directed by James Edmondson. This Tony-nominated Broadway hit, by the author of Shadowlands, is a remarkable examination of the dying embers of a 33-year marriage that should have lasted forever. One weekend the husband abruptly walks out, destroying his wife’s fragile world and leaving their adult son to put the pieces back together and decide right from wrong. Called “subtle and powerful” by The New Yorker, this compelling family drama is a tender, intimate and unsparing look at the complicated puzzle that is the human heart.
