“Gogol was a strange creature, but then genius is always strange.”
–Vladimir Nabokov
Nikolai Gogol’s The Gamblers is a hilarious romp about a professional gambler traveling on a highly profitable con job. After stopping at a provincial inn where he believes that he is playing against local pinheads, he’s poised to pull off his perfect scam. Little does he know the kind of scorpions he’s dealing with. Gogol’s play is a brilliant study of the grotesquery of human avarice. Adapted and directed by Massoud Saidpour. Featuring Terence Cranendonk. Limited seating. $25, CMA members $23.
Due to the nature of this performance, NO LATE SEATING.
Please note this venue is not ADA accessible.
This is the second installment of “Masters of Russian Drama.” The first, entitled Swan Song + Confessions, played in the 2005–06 season.
