Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina adapted by Helen Edmundson (currently represented on The West End with Queen Anne) was presented as a developmental reading at The Arcola Theatre on July 23 in London. The "electrifying" adaptation was devised by Jaclyn Bethany with company members James Barnes, Jasmine Blackborow, Peta Cornish, Aisha Fabienne Ross, Will Haddington, Kate Handford, Blake Kubena, William Sebag-Montefiore and produced by Joanne L. Williams.

Whilst exploring the classic text with a focus on experimental and imaginative staging, the performance delved into the strikingly modern complexity of Anna's journey juxtaposed with Levin's and the overlap between the two characters. The performance featured a cast of some of London's most promising young actors and aims for a full production next season.

Anna Karenina was presented in agreement with Nick Hern books.
