What's happening at La Mama Theatre

THE PARRICIDE  >>> showing at La Mama Theatre until May 25th <<< St Petersburg, Russia. 1866. Nihilist revolutionaries have taken to the streets and the rule of the Tsar is under threat. In a small flat, Fyodor Dostoyevsky grafts out a novel for an unscrupulous publisher. It’s not the novel he wants to write, but he is under contract, so he works. But all the time he is haunted by a story from his past – that of a parricide, a young man who kills his father. And as the characters in his imagination take shape around him, he finds himself forced to choose between rebellion and repression, authority and chaos, passion and love.
