Sound&Fury's KURSK

Wed 12 May to Sat 15 May 2010

EVERYMAN

August 2000. A British hunter-killer submarine is on patrol in the Arctic.

The crew drill, sleep, eat, long for word from home, and silently shadow their target.
Their lives are at once extraordinary and mundane – until a tragic event occurs that makes them question everything. As the tension mounts, the pressure they live under starts to take its toll.

Inspired by the Russian submarine disaster of August 2000, the Everyman stage is transformed to invoke the life of submariners, fathoms below the icy seas on the fraying front line of the Cold War.

NB: Kursk has no conventional seating. For specific access requirements, please contact the venue Box Office. Please note there will be periods of total darkness during the show.
