Synopsis

Dostoyevsky’s turn-of-the-century masterpiece is reimagined as a 90-minute romp of a morality tale, with five actors playing over 50 zany characters.

Riffing on the famous novel – and all of Russian literature – brilliant comic collaborators Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen bring the whacked-out sensibilities of Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors to 1860s Russia.

This classic story follows Raskolnikov, an impoverished student who becomes a murderer in order to save his family.

Based on the book you didn’t actually read in high school, this is literature retold as you’ve never seen it before.
