Description
A submarine patrols the icy seas on the fraying front line of the cold war. The crew's lives are marked by routine and isolation, but their world is shattered by a global crisis. Inspired by the Russian submarine disaster of August 2000, Bryony Lavery's play imagines the life of submariners deep below the surface. Kursk was first performed at the Young Vic Theatre in 2009 and revived to great acclaim in 2010. This powerful drama explores the personal stories that emerge from a global crisis, shedding light on the lives of those who serve on the fraying front line of the cold war.
