About this audiobook
The epic sweep of Turgenev’s 19th 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, Friel’s powerful and resonant adaptation examines the inevitable conflict between the urgency of youth and the entrenchment of age.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this play and the script. The director has taken one of Russia’s most revered novels and adapted it to the stage. I love how the play is true to the book and to the author. It successfully marries the story to the medium of theater.
