Ep. 188- Opening Night of "Patriots" with Michael Stuhlbarg & Will Keen!

In 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the new Russia belongs to its oligarchs—and no one is more powerful than billionaire Boris Berezovsky. When an eventual successor to President Boris Yeltsin is needed, Berezovsky turns to the little-known deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin. But soon Putin’s ruthless rise threatens Berezovsky’s reign, setting off a riveting, near-Shakespearean confrontation between the two powerful, fatally flawed men. Tony® and Emmy® Award nominee Michael Stuhlbarg stars as Berezovsky and Will Keen reprises his Olivier Award-winning turn as Putin in PATRIOTS, a shockingly timely history play from Peter Morgan, creator of “The Crown.” Don’t miss this strictly limited engagement of Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold’s kinetic, exhilarating production, which reveals to us all how Russia's post-Soviet machinations continue to shape our world to this day. We are joined by the cast and some of the red carpet VIPS like Brian D'Arcy James, Ben Ahlers, and Jocelyn Bioh! ______________________________________________________________________________ Check out “The Roundtable with Robert Bannon” everyday right here on The Broadway Podcast Network! www.RobertBannon.com Follow on IG @RobertMBannon or @theroundtablewithrobertbannon Learn more about your ad choices.
