Nothing Sacred

Calling it a “serious comedy,” George F. Walker, a cab-driver-turned-playwright, explores a time when young women were apt to cut their hair short and young men had taken to wearing theirs long. Set in 1860s Russia, Nothing Sacred follows Bazarov, a young rebel who effects reconciliation even as he seeks to overturn sacredly held principles of the establishment. Walker’s play is based on the novel Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev; it is directed by Martin Benson.

South Coast Repertory offers a “Pay-What-You-Will” performance on Saturday, September 9, at 2:30 PM and an ASL interpreted performance for the deaf community on Saturday, October 7, at 2:30 PM.

A free post show discussion with cast members led by the SCR Literary Department will follow the performances on Wednesday, September 13 and Tuesday, September 19.
