Synopsis

Hilarious, brutal and tragic, Delirium is a radical re-interpretation of The Brothers Karamazov

, Dostoevsky's classic and compelling tale of family rivalries.

The play is the result of a collaboration between acclaimed company theatre o and award-winning playwright Enda Walsh.

The Karamazovs are a train wreck waiting to happen.

A hated father and his sons battle it out over women, money and God.

They don't so much live as burn up.

Behind them lurks a servant, taking note of it all; and to the side, two beautiful women, clinging onto impossible loves.

This volume includes illustrations by Paddy Molloy.
