THE STORY of a family striving to succeed in the Soviet Union comes to the Nottingham Playhouse from Friday 16th to Saturday 31st May.
Breaking The Silence tells the story of the Peisakoff family, who are caught up in the maelstrom of post-revolutionary Russia.
They lose their palatial Moscow home and are re-accommodated in a dilapidated imperial train, complete with their maid.
Assigned the position of telephone inspector, Nikolai, unflappable and immaculate in his elegant English suit, soon neglects his duties for a private ambition: to be the first man in the world to record sound on film.
The play, which was written by Stephen Poliakoff, was inspired by the true history of his family. Originally commissioned by the RSC, this is the first major staging of the play in over 20 years.
Tickets are £7.50-£26.50 and are available by calling the box office on 0115 9419419 or by visiting www.nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk
