Production details
Based on Dostoyevsky's classic novel, considered to be the world's first existentialist work, and a major influence on many artists and writers subsequently, this extraordinary adaptation exploring the nature of suffering in both frightening and caustically funny. Initially produced by Buzz Goodbody - the first woman ever to direct at the RSC - in 1967, this compelling new production resurrects this classic piece of theatre and brings it to the stage of the Arcola for one week only.
