The Disinherited, after the fragment Platonov by Anton Chekhov, is a new live cinema performance adaptation of Chekhov’s first full-length play chronicling an emotionally bankrupt society of anti-heroes who are, less heroically, also losing their loves, their homes, and perhaps, their humanity as well. In an unprecedented experiment, the performance is realized simultaneously as live play (Platonov) and feature film, shot and edited in real time at The Kitchen in downtown New York City and simulcast to HowlRound TV and cinemas across the country, including AMC Empire in Times Square, Bam Rose Cinemas, and The Roxie in San Francisco. Don’t miss this pioneering experiment from one of America’s leading visionaries for the stage.
