is Nothing Sacred, George Walker’s 1988 brilliant, highly engaging, Governor-General’s Award-winning adaptation of Turgenev’s Father and Sons, set in 1860s Russia.
It is a wonderfully witty, incredibly fast-moving, ultra-ironic comedy-satire with many ideas and conflicts, interesting characters and scenes.
I first saw it around 1980 at the Citadel and am fortunate enough to have an off-air VHS of a 1995 Toronto production which is a recording of a live performance which I just happily viewed today for the first time. Still powerful, entertaining, and timeless.
