Theatre for a New Audience’s Artistic Director, Jeffrey Horowitz and New York Theatre Workshop’s Artistic Director James C. Nicola announced that both theatres will co-present the New York premiere of The Grand Inquisitor as part of their 2008-2009 seasons.  Single tickets go on sale Sunday (9/21).

C.I.C.T./ Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord’s production of The Grand Inquisitor, adapted from Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov by Marie-Hél ne Estienne, is directed by Peter Brook and features longtime collaborator Bruce Myers in the title role and Jake Smith as Christ.  The running time is fifty-five minutes.  The Grand Inquisitor will play for a limited engagement beginning previews Wednesday, October 22, at 8:00pm for an opening Wednesday, October 29, at 7:00pm at New York Theatre Workshop, 79 East Fourth Street. The limited engagement runs through November 23.

Since its premiere in Warwick, England in February 2006, The Grand Inquisitor has been performed extensively throughout Europe, South America, and Australia including a sell out engagement at London's Barbican Theatre.  The Grand Inquisitor offers a rare opportunity to experience Peter Brook's work on an intimate scale.
