Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to Tolstoy's moral psychology and want to see him tackle the messy reality of a failed marriage.
You appreciate plays that interrogate privilege and the gap between ideals and how we actually live.
You're interested in Russian literature that feels urgently modern despite being written in 1900.

Maybe not for you if...

You want conventional theatrical entertainment with a neat resolution or clear good guys and bad guys.
You prefer Tolstoy's epic novels and find his shorter dramatic works too claustrophobic or unresolved.
You're looking for a feel-good story about starting over, because this play actively resists offering that comfort.
