A Hero Of Our Time Description
“He was ready to love but the world wouldn’t listen. . . so he learned to hate. ”
Violence, passion and betrayal erupt in the world premiere of Lermontov’s ground-breaking 19th century Russian novel. A Byronic anti-hero, exiled from the army, begins an audacious affair with the stunning, fiercely independent Princess Mary.
The “Must See”, Stage Acting Excellence Award-nominated ensemble KUDOS return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with their trademark physicality and storytelling.
