Family Happiness

Fuse Theater Review: An Inspiring “Family Happiness”

After seeing many flat and boring adaptations of books over the past year, I recommend director Piotr Fomenko’s playful adaptation of Tolstoy’s Family Happiness to writers and directors wanting to turn literature into drama.

Fuse Theater Feature: Searching for “Family Happiness”

In this production, director Piotr Fomenko “wanted to explore whether family happiness is even possible, the fight to keep it and the fear of losing it.”
