Details

Inspired by Dostoevsky's novel, The Idiot is a glimpse into the world of Prince Myshkin. Charming, wise and dangerously naive, Prince Myshkin's epilepsy provides him with extraordinary perceptions but makes it almost impossible for him to fit into society. As he stumbles in and out of love and grapples with what it means to have money, his delightful yet horrifying story is an extraordinary insight into this misunderstood condition.
