ALEKSEY ALEKSANDROVICH at The Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater

ALEKSEY ALEKSANDROVICH

The play by Roman Freud, directed by Gera Sandler,is a reinterpretation of Leo Tolstoy’s story of Anna Karenina by modern artists. A reinterpretation that at times grows into a debate.

The characters and situations created by Tolstoy are so natural and real that they give a chance to look at the novel from any point of view without losing the trace of authenticity of the narrative.

Aleksey Aleksandrovich Karenin is a statesman, a professional, a reformer who sincerely cares about the future of his homeland.

An unexpected disaster in his personal life ruins the usual order of things and the scale of values  

Aleksey Aleksandrovich Karenin is forced to reconsider his views and, for the first time ever, look deep inside his own soul, to be reborn and become completely different – sincere, real and sensitive.

But is such a person allowed to exist in the world of brilliant St. Petersburg society? Is he becoming torn between his sincere feelings and powerful public opinion?
