A Third Year production
Anna Akhmatova is regarded by many as having been the greatest woman poet in Western culture. In The Woman in the Window, which is lossely based on her life, Anna struggles to keep her poems alive for the Russian people during the decades of Stalinist terror. She and her friend memorise them and burn the evidence. The play is set partly in Leningrad in the early 1950's and partly in Australia in the year 2080. In this future of virtual realities, as in Anna's time, the words of the poets are again indestructible.
Matinee Sat 12 May at 11am
