Join us for Lookingglass’ 50th world premiere! 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. Heidi Stillman on The Brothers Karamazov 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.” Study Guide
