Dmitri & the Three Thousand Kopeks
In Residence at IRT Theater:January 20-February 2 2015
A soldier tied by honor to a noblewoman but driven by passion to another. A philosopher in love with his brother's fiancé but caught in a web of reason. A novice monk devoted to his elder but struggling to keep his family together. And a servant everyone needs but no one can trust.
Part melodrama, part mask, part morality play, DMITRI & THE THREE THOUSAND KOPEKS investigates the darkly comic melodrama inside Dostoevsky's classic novel of lust, greed, and murder. Three brothers (or is it four?) cross genres and swap roles in Strange Harbor's playful, intimate reworking of another epic text.

She worked as a dramaturg all through college (assisting on shows by Tony Kushner, Tom Stoppard and William Shakespeare), and continued that work in New York.

STRANGE HARBOR is a nomadic home for exploratory theater that reimagines classic stories in new contexts. We develop and stage plays inspired by literature that investigate how the familiar can be made strange and how the strange can become familiar. Our work is at once epic and intimate, and we aim to create immersive performances that harness the unique power of theater audiences as participants in the creative process. Or, The Whale, our physical, musical, and immersive adaptation of Moby-Dick, played to sold out crowds at South Oxford Space in Brooklyn in June 2014. Find out more at www.strangeharbor.org.
Tucked away in the old Archive Building in Greenwich Village NYC, IRT is a grassroots theater development laboratory providing space, support and community for independent artists.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Office of Councilmember Corey Johnson and The Nancy Quinn Fund, a project of the Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York(A.R.T./New York)
