The Sunday Play: The Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Stephen Mulrine 's dramatisation of Nikolai Leskov 's novel, with Blythe Duff as Katerina and James
MacPherson as Sergei.
In the provincial Russia of the tsars, Katerina Izmailova is bored. With her husband away and with no children to care for, she has nothing to do but "trim the icon lamps and listen to the sound of her own footsteps."
Meanwhile, in the barn, Sergei - the tall and handsome bailiff of the farm
- directs the packing of the grain.
Director Hamish Wilson Repeat
