Bird&Carrot presents the UK Premiere of Brodsky / Baryshnikov

 

Based on the poems of Joseph Brodsky

Directed by Alvis Hermanis

Performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov

 

Brodsky / Baryshnikov is a one-man show based on the poems of Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky, performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov. Conceived and directed by Alvis Hermanis, noted Latvian director of The New Riga Theatre, Brodsky / Baryshnikov is an emotional journey deep into the poet's visceral and complex compositions. Performed in Russian, Brodsky's mother tongue, Baryshnikov recites a selection of his long-time friend's poignant and eloquent works. His subtle physicality transports the audience into Hermanis' reverent imagining of Brodsky's interior world.

 

Performed in Russian with English surtitles

I don't think I'll be going with tickets costing £50 - £130, with premium tickets at £200 and lasting only 90 minutes, no interval. Also the Apollo Theatre doesn't have the best of sightlines.
