A timeless saga of family, love, and loss against the backdrop of war

A masterpiece of world literature, Tolstoy’s War and Peace maintains all its grandeur and relevance in this adaptation by Helen Edmundsun as staged by Mehmet Birkiye. Pointing out to the extraordinary characters created by Tolstoy, the eminent director says, ‘These characters were looking for a way out of the Dionysian chaos, lust, passion, and ambition but in the end they were forced to maintain peace and equilibrium in a world of artificial morals.’
