Crime & Punishment

Season 5

January/February 2011

Winner of the 2002-2003 Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Adaptation.

This award-winning adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s literary masterpiece is set in the mind of the murderer, where he relives and explores the events that drove him to his horrible crime. Crime & Punishment is a thrilling psychological journey which seeks to unveil hidden dimensions of the human condition.

“Stunningly lean, taut and emotionally searing…[like] the swift, sharp impact of a blow from an ax.” —Chicago Sun-Times

Producing Ensemble Director’s Comments: The novel is one of my favorite pieces of literature, in part because I find its piercing look inside the human mind to be so closely related to what we explore in the theatre. This adaptation is a streamlined, one-act version that captures the haunting essence of the play in a fast-moving, three-person format.

Producing Partners: Diana and Mike Kinsey

Season 5 was presented through the generous support of Sacha Millstone, Senior Vice President, Millstone Evans Group of Raymond James and Associates, Inc.
