MOSCOW, MOSCOW, MOSCOW, MOSCOW, MOSCOW, MOSCOW

Columbia Lenfest Center for the Arts, December, 2021

“A ‘Chekhov fever dream.’ Pop music, pink lights, characters drinking a lot of vodka, lounging on couches moaning about being miserable; I don’t think there could be a better description for this millennial Chekhov mashup…Karpen shapes Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow into a delightful postmodern mille feuille, served by a cast of MFA performers who find the compelling tension between razor-sharp comedy, alienation, and hopeless yearning.” - Emily Johnson, Columbia University News
