A Globe-commissioned world premiere, Dostoevsky’s turn-of-the-century masterpiece is reimagined as a 90-minute romp of a morality tale, performed by five actors who play over 50 zany characters, riffing on the famous novel and all of Russian literature. The comic team of Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen (Ebenezer Scrooge’s BIG San Diego Christmas Show) brings to 1860s Russia the same whacked-out sensibility they gave to Dickens. 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, by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen, directed by Gordon Greenberg. Contains mild language, discussion of violence, and herbal cocoa shell cigarettes. There are brief moments of strobe lighting and loud noise.
