ABOUT THE SHOW:
---------------
Lovers are betrayed, society is scandalized and glasses are raised in Dave Malloy’s electro-pop opera ripped from a slice of Tolstoy’s WAR AND PEACE. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the city’s most charming rogue, it is up to the disillusioned Pierre, a family friend, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Dumplings, vodka, spectators and performers collide in this unmissable theatrical event!
This World Premiere of an Ars Nova commission will reunite Malloy with director Rachel Chavkin, two members of the team behind the OBIE Award-winning THREE PIANOS (New York Theatre Workshop, Ontological-Hysteric Theater). Dave’s other works include BEARDO, SANDWICH, CLOWN BIBLE and BEOWULF: A THOUSAND YEARS OF BAGGAGE, which has enjoyed several sold out engagements in New York, Berkeley, Edinburgh and Boston.
