Read Joe's review of Burnt By The Sun at the National Theatre
A brutal thriller from the moments when Stalin's leadership of the Soviet Union descended into the Great Terror. Adapted by Peter Flannery from a screenplay by Nikita Mikhalkov and Rustam Ibragimbekov, this is a story of vindictive blackmail to make the blood run cold.
Colonel Kotov, a decorated revolutionary hero, is on holiday with his family when his wife's former lover appears, hellbent on destructive revenge. He has wormed his way into Party confidence and proposes a diabolical deal. The Colonel must confess to treachery against Stalin in order to save the lives of his family.
This thoroughly unpleasant premise serves to highlight the descent of a regime from ideological to tyrannical. It also makes for a visceral, gut-wrenching theatrical thriller.
