Why see Crime and Punishment?
brand new show
Acclaimed Russian theater director Aleksey Burago and The Russian Arts Theater and Studio continues its 2015-2016 season this summer, with the world premiere of a brand new adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's magnum opus Crime and Punishment.
Considered one of the greatest works of literature of all time, Crime and Punishment follows the fortunes of Raskolnikov, a debt-ridden and disillusioned former student. From the boiling slums of St. Petersburg, he sets out to rob and murder a parasitic old pawnbroker, believing that he, as a superior being, is more deserving of her wealth and more likely to do good deeds and help the needy. But he cannot escape his conscience for long and is soon tormented with his interminable guilt...
This summer, embark upon a journey into the mind of a killer and his search for meaning as The Russian Arts Theater and Studio brings this classic novel to life.
