Thick House is an intimate theater located on San Francisco's Potrero Hill.
Dostoevsky's aim in writing his final masterpiece was, as recorded in his diary, "to find the man in man." Continuing its 2005 season, Central Works takes the magnificent story-within-the story of the Brothers Karamazov, ingeniously adapting it for the stage. Dostoevsky writes, "he appeared quietly, inconspicuously, but everyone recognized him." Would we?
Adapted for the stage by Gary Graves, in collaboration with Kristin Fitch, Gregory Scharpen, David Skillman & Jan Zvaifler. Dostoevsky's THE GRAND INQUISITOR is directed by Jan Zvaifler, and features Gary Graves and David Skillman. With costumes by Tammy Berlin, lights by Rob Anderson, sound by Gregory Scharpen and stage management by Kristin Fitch.
Focusing on new work, Central Works develops original plays through intensive collaborative workshops. The company, now in its fifteenth season, has presented twenty-four productions, including sixteen original plays. Of Central Works' 2004 story to stage adaptation, Chekhov's The Duel, Robert Hurwitt (The San Francisco Chronicle) wrote "comic, wistful, scathingly ironic and deeply humane."
Central Works Theater Ensemble is committed to the collaborative development of original works for the theater. We write, develop, and produce plays. Our focal point is originality: original ideas, original conceptions, original plays. We bring theater artists together as partners in the creation and development of intellectually and emotionally demanding works, while offering the local community daring, intimate productions at affordable prices. With sliding scales of $8-$20 and "pay what you can" performances, we offer challenging, professional productions of new works for as little or less than the price of a movie.
