A Young Vic and Fuel co-production, Sound&Fury's
 Kursk |
in collaboration with Bryony Lavery
A submarine is on patrol in the arctic. The crew sleep, eat, drill, long for word from home, and silently shadow their target. Their lives, at once extraordinary and mundane, are shattered by a global crisis from which uniquely personal stories emerge.
Cutting edge theatre company Sound&Fury (The Watery Part of the World) join Bryony Lavery (Frozen) to imagine the life of submariners, deep below the icy seas on the fraying front line of the cold war.
