Longing

<p><i>All things pass - is this your philosophy? Is there no room for love in your philosophy of life?</i> <p/>Renowned and best-selling novelist William Boyd CBE adapts two Chekhov short stories <i>A Visit to Friends</i> and <i>My Life</i> to weave a comic tale about nineteenth-century Russian provincial life both familiar and unfamiliar. <p/>When Kolia is invited to visit his oldest friends on their Estate in the country he anticipates a pleasant break from Moscow life. But as the comedy of provincial life plays out around him he finds himself adrift in a miasma of false expectations missed opportunities and unspoken passions.</p>
