'The Brothers Karamazov' to Play at Lookingglass Theatre Starting 10/15

The Brothers Karamazov, written and directed by Heidi Stillman, adapted from the novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky and translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky will premiere at The Lookingglass Theatre Company starting October 15th, 2008. The venue for the performance will be the Water Tower Water Works

Featuring the work of company members Eva Barr, Chris Binder, Mara Blumenfeld, Doug Hara, Louise Lamson, Daniel Ostling, Rick Sims, Philip R Smith, Ray Nardelli and Jonathon Templeton the play will star Maury Cooper, Chaon Cross, Nick Dileonardi, Abigail Droeger, Robert Gerdisch, Larry Grimm, Malcolm Kenneth Harris, Steve Key, Ruby Kaye, Marianna Oharenko, Joe Sikora, and Craig Spidle.

Faith, philosophy, and passion collide in Dostoevsky’s murderous epic. Meet one of literature’s most lecherous, greedy and delightfully despicable fathers — Fyodor Karamazov. When his eldest son discovers they are competing for the affections of the same woman, concealed tensions erupt into a storm of passion, deceit and betrayal.

Ensemble member and Lookingglass Artistic Director of New Work Heidi Stillman, award-winning adaptor and director of Charles Dickens' Hard Times, brings new life to Dostoevsky's epic masterpiece of murder, greed and treachery.

“The plot is a murder mystery but the ideas swirling around and within the plot have to do with the existence of God, the meaning of life, the broadness and contradictions in human nature, and the interconnectedness of humanity – that we are ‘all responsible for all’ – in other words, kind of all the biggest, deepest life questions.”
