Murder. A cat-and-mouse chase.
In the heart of a bustling city, a penniless student murders in cold blood. He is caught in a spiral of paranoia and delusion as a cunning detective circles. Only the chance of love offers a way out.

Northern Broadsides bring their bold and playful style to Dostoyevsky’s classic novel, with his huge canvas of larger-than-life characters brought to life by just three actors.

A Northern Broadsides production.
