The Coast of Utopia

The Coast of Utopia is a 2002 trilogy of plays by Tom Stoppard, focused on the philosophical debates in pre-revolutionary Russia between 1833 and 1866. The plays are entitled Voyage, Shipwreck, and Salvage, and the entirely trilogy totals nine hours in length. The trilogy was performed in repertory at the Royal National Theatre in London to full houses and received critical praise; however, revivals are likely to be infrequent due to the enormous cast and immense technical resources required.

The trilogy will be revived at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in the Lincoln Center, New York City, from November 5, 2006 to March 3, 2007. The cast will include Tony Award winners Brían F. O'Byrne, Richard Easton, and Jennifer Ehle along with Billy Crudup, Ethan Hawke, Josh Hamilton, Martha Plimpton, David Harbour, Jason Butler Harner and Amy Irving.

The trilogy is also to be performed in Russia, according to The Economist magazine: it will open at Moscow's National Youth Theatre in early 2007
