The epic sweep of Turgenev's nineteenth-century literary masterpiece is brought to the stage by one of Ireland's greatest living dramatists. Fathers and Sons captures the ongoing clash of generations and philosophies. Set in a Russian country estate, Brian Friel's powerful and resonant adaptation examines the inevitable conflict between the urgency of youth and the entrenchment of age.
