Press release description:
"Beginning in mid-19th century Russia during the repressive reign of Tsar Nicholas I, Tom Stoppard's sweeping epic spans a period of 30 years as it tells the panoramic story of a group of Russian writers, headed by the radical theorist and editor Alexander Herzen (to be played by Brían F. O'Byrne), the novelist Ivan Turgenev (Jason Butler Harner), the literary critic Vissarion Belinsky (Billy Crudup), the aristocrat-turned-anarchist Michael Bakunin (Ethan Hawke) and the poet Nicholas Ogarev (Josh Hamilton), who lead a band of like-minded countrymen in a revolutionary movement in which they strive to change and fix a political system by using their minds as their only weapon."
