New York City
Called the most poetic of all Russian plays, The Storm is a dangerous fusion of romance and immorality unleashed, and Blessed Unrest’s physically dynamic world-premiere is electrifying, blatantly romantic, and wickedly funny. Katrina attempts to escape her loveless marriage through forbidden passion. Surrounding her are an overbearing mother-in-law with an overactive libido, an abusive entrpenuer with a soft side, a scientist obsessed with perpetual motion, and an aging servant who’s always watching as thunder rolls and the rain comes down.
