Chris Pine takes the title role in Ivanov, a new version of Anton Chekhov’s first full-length play, written and directed by Simon Stone, at the Bridge Theatre for a strictly limited season from 27 July to 16 October 2027.
Nikolai Ivanov is a man weighed down by debt, disillusion and a marriage he can no longer feel his way back into. As his world closes in around him, the certainties of his younger self give way to restlessness, regret and a longing for something he cannot name. Simon Stone, known for his bold contemporary reworkings of the classics, brings his distinctive eye to Chekhov’s study of a life running out of road.
The production is designed by Lizzie Clachan, with costume design by Mel Page, lighting by Nick Schlieper and composition and sound by Stefan Gregory.
