HUNCHtheatre: A Hero of Our Time

HUNCHtheatre’s critically acclaimed ‘A Hero of our Time’ returns to Stone Nest.

One of literature's most ambiguous characters, Pechorin, runs into his old friend Grushnitsky in a serene spa town and immediately sets about causing chaos. This critically acclaimed adaptation of a neglected masterpiece mixes together the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, comedy and tragedy, and has delighted audiences across the world.
