{"product_id":"9781408177730","title":"Ivanov","description":"This adaptation by David Hare premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London in 1997 starring Ralph Fiennes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a drama of a Russian landowner's half-farcical, half serious personal crisis as he plummets fast into domestic and philosophical chaos. The central scene concerns a debate between the landowner and the young doctor about honesty. The latter thinks that honesty is to do with blurting out offensive truths, whilst the former insists that no-one can acquire honesty unless they have the self knowledge to examine their own motives. By turns despairing and passionate, this play offers an insight into a robust young writer, exploring themes that were to interest him in his later plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140722966768,"sku":"9781408177730","price":14.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408177730_p0.jpg?v=1763718870","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408177730","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
