A summer of pleasure. A storm on the horizon.
It's a hot, beautiful summer in 1905, and Russia's elite retreat to the countryside to swim, sip champagne and start affairs.
When they're having this much fun, why care about anything else? But Varvara just can't shake the feeling that their holiday idyll is built on borrowed time.
As the party continues, how long can they ignore the storm on the horizon?
Nina Raine and Moses Raine's new adaptation of Maxim Gorky's razor-sharp portrait of class, privilege and denial is premiered at the National Theatre, London, in 2026.
Alexei Maximovich Peshkov (1868–1936), primarily known as Maxim Gorky, was a Russian and Soviet writer, a founder of the socialist realism literary method, and a political activist. He was also a five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Gorky's works include: The Lower Depths (1902), Twenty-six Men and a Girl (1899), The Song of the Stormy Petrel (1901), My Childhood (1913–1914), Mother (1906), Summerfolk (1904) and Children of the Sun (1905). Nina Raine is a theatre director and playwright. Her plays include: an adaptation (with Moses Raine) of Maxim Gorky's Summerfolk (National Theatre, London, 2026); Bach & Sons (Bridge Theatre, London, 2021); Stories (National Theatre, 2018); Consent (National Theatre, 2017; West End, 2018); Tiger Country (Hampstead Theatre, London, 2011); Tribes (Royal Court, London, 2010, and Barrow Street Theatre, New York; winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and Drama Desk Award); and Rabbit (Old Red Lion and West End, 2006; winner of the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright).
