The UK premiere of Dave Malloy’s Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet Of 1812 is now running at the Donmar Warehouse, marking new Artistic Director Tim Sheader’s directorial debut at the venue. Watch video highlights from the production here!

Arriving in the glittering opulent world of Moscow High Society, the impulsive and romantic Natasha Rostova awaits the return of her fiancé from the front lines. But when she falls under the spell of an intoxicating aristocrat, it is up to the unlikely hero, Pierre, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation.

“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.

Seven years after it closed on Broadway in 2017, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 is finally arriving in London at the Donmar Warehouse in December. The show, written by Dave Malloy, takes a seventy-page segment of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace (Part Eight, to be specific) and transforms it into a sung-through musical. The titular characters of Natasha Rostova and Pierre Bezukhov are respectively played by Chumisa Dornford-May and Declan Bennett.

An all new video has been released from rehearsal for the UK premiere of Dave Malloy’s Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet Of 1812. The song ‘Prologue’ introduces the audience to the cast of characters in the show. Check out the video here!
