Joined by a small cadre of adventurous theatrical renegades, Michael Gardner has helped turned Williamsburg's Brick Theater into one of the city's most reliable sources for smart, funny, and surprising performance. Gardner is currently presenting a revival of his 1999 stage adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground, starring Brick co-founder Robert Honeywell as the book's rather tortured main character. Performed in the theater's backstage area, which has been transformed into a book-cluttered, candlelit warren, Gardner gives the audience a full immersion into the tangled mind of Dostoevsky's famous 'Underground Man.' Critic Richard Hinojosa writes: "After being fortunate enough to witness The Brick's production of Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground I realized that there was so much that I missed in my reading of it that came to vivid and surprisingly hilarious life when spoken." Notes from Underground continues through March 22nd; the run is mostly sold out but a small number of tickets will be available at the door starting at 7:45 p.m. prior to each performance.
