Fear and Trembling

Three professors attempt to understand the story of Abraham’s call to sacrifice his son upon Mount Moriah. Fear and Trembling is an original dramatic adaptation of Søren Kierkegaard’s 1843 treatise by the same name, which the father of existential philosophy prized as his most perfect work. Split between the modern academic scene and the land of Canaan, 2000 BC, the tragicomedy contends with faith, love, and the absurd by telling and retelling scripture’s most harrowing legend. After a sold-out run at Yale University, the original company will perform at the Alba Theatre from August 20th to 24th.
