This satire unfolds at a lavish, unholy revel, conjuring the espionage and mysticism that danced at the edges of the Romanov dynasty in its twilight hour. Press notes state that "every character claws for dominion, every ambition is laced with poison, and every grasp for power pulls them closer to the abyss."
The production also features set design by Lili Teplan (Love, Brooklyn), costume design by Eulyn Colette Hufkie (The Walking Dead), lighting design by Devin Cameron (The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart), and sound design by Stephen Dobbie (The Burnt City).
The Death of Rasputin is produced by Kelly Bartnik (Sleep No More) with production management by Allison Camali.
