Humors has announced the return of Rasputin, a theatrical exploration of the mystic mad monk's notorious death, playing from May 9 through May 18, 2024, at Open Eye Theatre.
This production is an investigation into the three alleged true accounts of Rasputin's demise and the ensuing chaos of Mother Russia's fate.
Moscow, December 30, 1916: As the Great War intensifies, the proletariat rises, and Rasputin is found dead under mysterious circumstances near a frozen river. Rasputin revisits these events, merging historical conjecture and theatrical whimsy. The play utilizes a Rashomon-style narrative where three different storytellers recount the increasingly bizarre events leading to the mad monk's death.
