Danton’s Death
ATA Chernuchin Theatre
February 8-24, 2002
Georg Büchner, hailed by Brecht as the father of modern theater, wrote this epic historical drama at the age of twenty-one. Through an almost cinematic, documentary-style account of the French Revolution, Büchner tackles questions of politics, personal identity, and ideals. Director Cara Reichel, together with a cast of over thirty of New York's most talented young performers, brings new life to this notable, yet rarely seen, classic.

In collaboration with director John-Martin Green and Blackberry Productions, Prospect presents a fresh take on Anton Chekhov's tale of the decaying social fabric of tsarist Russia. By transferring the story to the early 20th-century American South, this strikingly re-envisioned production examines what is universal in the play—memory and longing for security, anxiety, and hope for the future—from an African-American cultural perspective.
