2 hours, 30 minutes

Tom Stoppard's trilogy, The Coast of Utopia, featured 44 actors playing 70 roles, covering three decades of Russian life and history.

The stellar cast included Billy Crudup, Richard Easton, Jennifer Ehle, Josh Hamilton, David Harbour, Jason Butler Harner, Ethan Hawke, Amy Irving, Brian F. O'Byrne, and Martha Plimpton.

Ben Brantley of The New York Times hailed Voyage, Part 1, as "an exhilarating production performed with freshness and vigor by an immense and starry cast." Newsweek called Voyage "complex, funny and heartbreaking" while David Cote of NY-1/Time Out New York declared it "Stoppard's crowning achievement."

In the mid-19th century as revolution swept across Europe, a group of Russian intellectuals, journalists, critics, philosophers, poets and their friends tried to topple the tsar for the cause of freedom. Stoppard's epic follows these men and women over thirty years, as their intertwined lives, passions and dreams drive them in pursuit of perfection.

ABOUT SHIPWRECK, PART 2
The second part of the trilogy, Shipwreck, centers on the visionary Russian leader Alexander Herzen and his fellow revolutionaries who find inspiration as well as frustration in exile in Paris and London. As the revolution of 1848 unfolds outside Herzen's door and the tides of political and social upheaval swell, Herzen's circle, and his family, are profoundly affected.
