A once respected academic returns to his farm which has been managed without him for many years. He brings with him a new, beautiful, young wife. Their arrival turns the lives of the residents and his family upside down as old wounds are reopened, passions are awakened and thwarted ambitions bubble to the surface; threatening the lives of everyone involved.

After sell-out successes of The Seagull and Three Sisters, award-winning writer Anya Reiss reimagines this tragicomic masterpiece in a stunning new version for the 21st century.
