war & peace: the one man show

Review by WILLARD MANUS

June 28, 2015

My overall impression

Can a single actor in 60 minutes tell the whole story of War and Peace? Truthfully no — the book is after all over a thousand pages long. But Brad Griffith does a valiant job of delivering the key elements of the Tolstoyan epic. Working off pinned note cards, Griffith describes the main characters and the central story lines in speed reader fashion. Despite having to race against time, Griffith turns in a tour de force performance that Tolstoy himself might have enjoyed.
