THE STORM by Alexander Ostrovsky

UC San Diego Department of Theatre and Dance | Potiker Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse | La Jolla, CA

directed by Larissa Lury

The ideal faces the real in a small storm-ridden town on the bank of a major river. A young couple, a domineering mother, an eccentric scientist, a powerful businessman, and a new-comer all harbor secrets. But some may find the weight of such hidden knowledge too much to bear. The intertwining of nature, science, and faith flood the stage in this classic play by one of Russia’s most treasured dramatists.
