A Provincial Life

English

By (author): Peter Gill

'An exceptionally interesting piece of work.' OBSERVER
'Peter Gill on absolutely commanding form, working with dazzling confidence.' GUARDIAN
'A compelling picture of human struggle and confusion; unsettling and absorbing.' THE TIMES
'Beautifully empathetic . . . brilliantly attuned . . . highly recommended.' INDEPENDENT

Born into a bourgeois family, Misail determines to find a way to lead an honest life free from privilege. To his father's disapproval and bewilderment, he renounces his heritage and becomes a workman before moving to the country to manage the estate of the girl that he marries. Over the course of a long summer, his burning sense of injustice and deep integrity exact a devastating forfeit.

Peter Gill's A Provincial Life, based on a novella by Anton Chekhov, opened at the Sherman Cymru, Cardiff, in March 2012 in a production by National Theatre Wales.
