Description
As a tyrannical father lords over his restless adult children in a turn-of-the-century Russian household, a cast of radical free-spirited guests and servants brings the tension to a fevered pitch. The A.C.T. Master of Fine Arts Program joins Jack Willis (Rock 'n' Roll, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore) and Sharon Lockwood ('Tis Pity She's a Whore, A Christmas Carol) and Bay Area actor Robert Ernst (A Christmas Carol) in this modern take on Maxim Gorky's classic of youth in revolt. As political as it is personal, Philistines is a perfectly etched blend of outrageous family drama and fierce dark comedy."A rich vein of black comedy" —The Independent (London)
