Known for devised theater on big topics, this UK- and Germany-based collective uses Tolstoy’s epic as a launch pad for cheeky, insightful new theater. Reenacting the salon that opens War and Peace, the cast selects audience members to join them onstage for drinks, discourse and brief, over-the-top bits inspired by the book. Readings, improv, live video, even a fashion show are woven together to explore Tolstoy’s enduring question: is it possible to be moral in a deeply flawed world?
