Crime and Punishment

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 same whacked-out sensibilities of their Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors to melancholic 1860s Russia. This classic story follows Raskolnikov, an impoverished student who becomes a murderer to save his family. (Spoiler alert: It does not end well for him.) Based on the book you didn't actually read in high school…this is literature retold as you've never seen it before.
