New York City
A gadabout living for pleasure in late 19th-century Vienna, Anatol practices the arts of seduction, adultery, infidelity, and betrayal, encountering a series of mistresses in his search for the perfect faithful lover. Paradoxically, it is the women in his life who gain the upper hand. Directed by Aurora Theatre Company founding Artistic Director Barbara Oliver, this World Premiere translation, commissioned by Aurora Theatre Company from renowned Schnitzler expert (and Berkeley resident) Margret Schaefer, features interrelated episodes in the love-obsessed life of this bourgeois Viennese Casanova.
