Description
"Robert Holman is the quiet man among modern British dramatists. But his new playis an outstanding work that sings with truth" (Michael Billington, Guardian)
Eileen and her grandson Matty, 16, travel to Russia to stay with scientist Pavel and his son Nikolai, 14, on the Oka reserve where they are to take part in an experiment to save the Siberian Crane from extinction. When the two boys, Matty and Nikolai are given the responsibility of travelling into the wilds, the clash of their personalities, education and experience provokes in Matty an appalling destructiveness.
Across Oka was premiered at The Other Place (RSC) in 1988.
"Robert Holman's Across Oka is about metamorphosis and manipulation in the lives of passionate, gentle people in north Yorkshire and eastern Russia, the first opent to all experience, the second constrained by the discipline of an enclosing stateThe new play is alive with theatrical confrontation and generosity of spirit." (Michael Ratcliffe, Observer)
