In the new Broadway show Patriots, Stuhlbarg plays wealthy Russian Boris Berezovsky opposite Will Keep, who stars as Vladimir Putin. The play was created by Peter Morgan, who also created Netflix’s The Crown.

“In 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the new Russia belongs to its oligarchs — and no one is more powerful than billionaire Boris Berezovsky,” a synopsis of the show reads.

“When an eventual successor to President Boris Yeltsin is needed, Berezovsky turns to the little-known deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin. But soon Putin’s ruthless rise threatens Berezovsky’s reign, setting off a riveting, near-Shakespearean confrontation between the two powerful, fatally flawed men,” the synopsis continues.
