SYNOPSIS
Boris Godunov has been crowned Tsar of Russia in a glittering coronation. But his path to power was bloody. As famines spark unrest, Boris becomes increasingly haunted by his role in the murder of the 9-year-old heir to the throne, Dmitry. Meanwhile, in neighbouring Poland, a young man spots an opportunity to seize power. With Russia in turmoil and his sanity unravelling, can Tsar Boris cling to power? Or will the ghosts of his past return to wreak revenge once and for all?
Approx performance time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, without interval.

At time of writing, prices range from £12-£251, with fairly good availability. I will be sitting in the Amphitheatre, Row D, Seat 52 if anyone wants to sit nearby.
SOCIAL
After the show, we'll congregate in the Bow Street foyer next to the statue in the centre of the room before heading off for a drink, (probably at The Craft Beer Co on Endell Street - other drinks are available there!). Please note, depending on work I might only be able to stop for a quick pint - sadly there's no weekend or Friday night performances!
I will be providing updates in the comments section of this page on the day itself. I would recommend you download the Meetup app to your smartphones, so you can access these quickly & easily.
