ABOUT THE SHOW
NAE presents The Brothers Karamazov, a high-stakes spiritual thriller that explores the limits of faith, family ties, and personal freedom. Set in 1860's Russia, a reunion in a rural village finds three long-estranged brothers contending with the timeless questions of identity, morality, and existence. Their journey to understanding is derailed by a shocking murder, threatening to leave fruitless their shared quest for redemption. In its New York City premier, Anthony Clarvoe's adaptation of the Dostoevsky classic invites audiences to consider the perennial nature of life's single greatest question: "Who am I?”
