Anna
by Brenna Geffers and the Ensemble
World Premiere adaptation of Anna Karenina
March 29-April 16
Literature’s greatest heroine comes to new life in this world premiere stage adaptation, written and directed by Brenna Geffers. In Anna, this sweeping Russian epic is transformed into a make-shift travelling show by a wandering theater troupe armed with a collection of rickety antiques and instruments. They perform this story, set in the shifting landscape of Imperial Russia, to seek refuge from their own unsettling world. You are invited on their journey, and Anna's, as they travel together toward the story's unavoidable end.
All performances take place at the Latvian Society Theater - 531 N. 7th St., Philadelphia
