A brand new, never performed piece by Leo Tolstoy. Which is to say, he wrote the short story in 1889, and always hoped it would be adapted with live music, but never saw the dream realised. Here's hoping he's looking down on the Gate at this bold English language adaptation. With live music!
Why the music? Well, The Kreutzer Symphony is all about Beethoven. Specifically, it concerns a train passenger who admits to his fellow passengers that he's committed a vile crime while under the influence of the maestro's music.
Still as chilling as ever it was, but now a live experience. We want to see this!
