From: Photo Flash: First Look at The REP's PRUSSIA: 1866

As we all know, when you think of comedy, you immediately think of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. He is, after all, credited with famously saying, 'There's a fine line between gazing long into an abyss and standing at the edge of an abyss looking like an idiot.' The REP, Point Park University's professional theatre company, rings in 2015 with the world premiere of Prussia: 1866, Pittsburgh playwright Gab Cody's hilarious examination of Nietzsche and his proto-feminist friends. Directed by Kim Martin, Prussia: 1866 previews tonight, Feb. 5, and runs Feb. 6-22, in the Rauh Theatre at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, 222 Craft Ave. Scroll down for a first look at the cast in action!
