Often spoken of as the greatest crime story ever written, Crime and Punishment is a tale of murder, motive and redemption that plumbs the depths of the human soul.
For modern audiences, imagine a 19th century Tony Soprano named Raskolnikov who fancies himself above the law—entitled to such an extent that he may decide who is worthy of life and of death. But that all ends when he meets his match in Inspector Porfiry, a master of mind games who is determined to elicit a confession from the ever-more-demented Raskolnikov.
A taut, thrilling adaptation that compresses all the tension and pathos of the novel into a powerful 90 minutes of theater that is at once fresh and faithful to the original.
Phoenix Theatre Ensemble presents Crime and Punishment in tandem with Drinks with Dead Poets.
