Following a successful run at the Old Red Lion Theatre, Nina Raine’s production of Moses Raine’s Moscow-set familial drama Donkey Heart arrives at the Trafalgar Studios.
Set after communism, the family’s lives are utterly different yet somehow eerily familiar. Petya’s dodging the draft, Sasha’s jumping with every ring of the bell, Ivan’s brought a mysterious stranger home and now their guest Thomas is asking questions.
The Raine siblings’ first theatrical collaboration following their on screen work co-writing episodes of BBC drama Mistresses, the play takes inspiration from the pair’s own Russian roots and questions whether you can trust even your nearest and dearest.
The production’s transfer sees original cast members Pierre Atri, Emily Bruni, Lisa Diveney, Patrick Godfrey, Georgia Henshaw, Alex Large, Albie Marber, Paul Wyett and James Musgrave return to their roles.
Donkey Heart follows the success of recent transfers from the Old Red Lion Theatre including The Play That Goes Wrong and Mercury Fur.
