Review: NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812, Donmar Warehouse
by Debbie Gilpin - Dec 17, 2024

“Nothing is trivial, and nothing is important, it’s all the same.' Conflict rages around the world, and yet normal life (with its requisite anxieties) is expected to go on regardless. This is the situation in which Tolstoy’s War and Peace characters find themselves; the Napoleonic Wars continue, but high society and family dramas will never rest.
