Thomas Ostermeier / Schaubünhe Berlin: History of Violence
St. Ann's Warehouse
45 Water Street, DUMBO, Brooklyn

$56-$66
https://stannswarehouse.org/show/history-of-violence/

A stage adaptation of Édouard Louis's fist-to-the-gut autobiographical novel, which is both savage and intellectual. Adapter/director Thomas Ostermeier's work is also both save and Intellectual, so this might just be a match made in theater heaven. (A stage adaptation of an earlier Louis audiobiographical novel, to which this was the follow-up, is playing at BAM.)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: After all that sex and savagery, it's very hard not to send you to the exceedingly pleasant River Café. At least you could grab a drink at their exceedingly pleasant bar. (Better be wearing a suitjacket if you identify as male, however.)
