Description
In the sweltering heat of a Saint Petersburg summer, impoverished student Raskolnikov wrestles with the thoughts of the good he could do were he able to lay hands on the wealth of an unscrupulous old woman. Dostoyevsky’s seminal masterpiece of psychological torment sees Raskolnikov unravel as his guilt and conscience collide with the reality of his murderous dreams. Praise for writer/director Rebecca Vines’ previous works: 'Chilling… brilliant… powerful' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'A cut above' **** (TheWeeReview.co.uk).

Very good. Highly recommend.
Brilliant!! 17 days ago
Rebecca Vines does an outstanding job condensing this monster of a novel into a 45 min show. The gifted actors work together seamlessly to depict the story as an ensemble as we are transported into the turmoil of Raskolnikov’s mind and the split in his morale compass. He is tortured by his conscience and relationships with his best friend Razumikhin, his sister and Sonya.
We loved it! well worth the watch!
