The Flying Karamazov Brothers, named after the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, are a continuing experiment in comedy, theatre, music and, of course, juggling. With the intention of blending the worlds of performance art, improvisation, word play, harmony, emotion and, above all, virtuosity into a unique form of theatre and entertainment, the Flying Karamazov Brothers continue to find new ways to astonish by air, by laughs and by scene. Taking their cue from Shakespeare, they bring art and accessible entertainment to the stage. Comedy is their bread and butter and they layer it on so that children of 2, or 92 will laugh at the same moment for very different reasons. Among their many accomplishments, the Flying Karamazov Brothers have won an Obie Award, and were America’s representatives of classical theatre at the Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles. In 2004, the Flying Karamazov Brothers were honored with an award of excellence by the International Juggling Association.
"4PLAY" is the latest show by the Flying Karamazov Brothers.
This original production is directed by Paul Magid.
The show is a unique blend of nouveau cirque, visual music, dance and theatre.

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar's wife lands him in jail. When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.
