The Queen Of Spades

A mental patient is confined to his cell, refusing to answer any questions. His past life is revealed to us in a series of dreams that take us from the bedroom of an old, dying Countess to the gambling tables of St. Petersburg.

Alexander Pushkin’s dark short story is a classic of Russian literature. Here it is reinvented for the stage in a new adaptation as a thrilling drama of the imagination, bringing the lyricism and satirical qualities of the original to life. An unmissable opportunity to experience the work of Russia’s greatest poet in the UK.
