Lev Dodin is one of the best theater directors in the world -- and one of the gloomiest.  Here with his Maly Drama Theatre he presents Schiller's tragedy of class and power.  Wonder why the promotional materials fail to mention that this play is the basis of Verdi's opera Luisa Miller?  Lose too many cool points, I guess.  I can't say I blame them.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I think you might want a few beers after this Russian gloom heaped on German gloom.  Some wurst wouldn't hurt, either.  Black Forest Brooklyn.
