Collaborative Work: Godunov project

A World Premiere Production by Princeton Students and Faculty of Alexander Pushkin's 1825 Play Featuring the Incidental Music of Sergei Prokofiev and Directorial Concepts of Vsevolod Meyerhold.

Performances will be held at the Berlind Theatre, Princeton University, on April 12, 2007 at 8pm, April 13 at 8pm, and April 14 at 2pm and 8pm

"Dozens of student actors, architects, musicians, and dancers have joined forces with faculty members to bring a Russian masterwork to the stage, 71 years after it was supposed to have premiered."
..."The production, presented in April at the Roger S. Berlind Theatre in the McCarter Theatre Center, is poet Alexander Pushkin’s Boris Godunov—based on plans created by theatrical innovator Vsevolod Meyerhold and composer Sergei Prokofiev in 1936.
..."This brings with it a commitment to art, support of innovation, and an emphasis on collaborative work that crosses disciplines—all the ingredients that the Godunuv project needed to succeed."
