This Much I Know - ePublication
THE STORY: Lukesh is a professor who knows exactly how humans operate. He literally teaches on the subject. But all of his theories are thrown out the window when one student begins to question the moral limits of free speech and thought, and more personally, when his wife, Natalya, starts to investigate her family’s Russian past. Mirroring the current crises of identity and belief, Joseph Stalin’s daughter, Svetlana, has become disillusioned with her father’s ideas and considers defecting to the United States. Lukesh and Svetlana’s parallel journeys demonstrate the complex, often heartbreaking steps required to change your mind.
“This Much I Know is a three-hander with the oomph of an Oppenheimer…a masterfully built puzzle-drama that pursues an entertaining, emotional and surprisingly energizing inquiry into how and how well we can ever know anything—even about ourselves.” —Washington Post.
“This much I know about Jonathan Spector’s enthralling and exhilarating This Much I Know: It’s a head trip and a half…A visionary script.” —DC Theater Arts.
