He is, after all, credited with famously saying, 'There's a fine line between gazing long into an abyss and standing at the edge of an abyss looking like an idiot.' The REP, Point Park University's professional theatre company, rings in 2015 with the world premiere of Prussia: 1866, Pittsburgh playwright Gab Cody's hilarious examination of Nietzsche and his proto-feminist friends.
