Photos: Brandeis Theater Department presents 'Martyr'
The play, directed by Assistant Professor Dmitry Troyanovsky '98, ran from Nov. 17 to 20 at Spingold Theater Center
This weekend, Brandeis Theater Company presents its production of “Martyr,” which tells the story of Benjamin, a teenage boy who discovers the Bible on his own and becomes increasingly fundamental in his Christian ideology.
The play chronicles his outspoken beliefs and the way the people in his life — his classmates, friends, teachers and family — respond to them and interact with him. Sometimes these responses, even ones that begin with tolerant intentions, lead to dark, shocking places. The production features a cast of Brandeis undergraduates, along with Adrianne Krstansky, the Barbara Sherman ’54 and Malcolm L. Sherman Director of Theater Arts, who will play Benjamin’s mother; and lecturer Alex Jacobs, MFA '13.
The play ran from Nov. 17 to 20 at Spingold Theater Center. For more on the production read this article from the fall issue of State of the Arts.
