Photo Flash: LITTLE TRAGEDIES At Baryshnikov Arts Center

By Russia's most beloved writer Alexander Pushkin, LITTLE TRAGEDIES, translated into English verse and co-directed by Julian Henry Lowenfeld, are four short, humorous plays about human nature's inherent contradictions In "The Knight-Miser," the richest man in the world discovers that money can't buy the respect of his son. "Mozart and Salieri" is the story of the greatest genius--and the greatest villain--in the history of music. "The Stone Guest" features the swashbuckling lover-poet Don Juan in a love triangle with his fiery mistress Laura and Doña Anna (with far more action in a few minutes than in all of Chekhov's plays combined). And in "The Feast in Time of Plague," revelers honor a fallen friend with poems and songs.
