Ooley Theater
Directed by Lisa Thew
Surrounded by widespread poverty, crime and social agitation in a country torn between its traditions and its surging revolutionary youth stands a desperate man in perpetual revolt against society, God and himself. In this new, award-winning adaptation, Dostoevsky's literary masterpiece is stripped to its essentials, a thrilling "conversation on the nature of evil" told by three actors. This production takes the audience on an intimate psychological journey into the mind of a killer and his search for redemption.

Beyond the political, religious and ideological dimensions of this issue, Keely and Du illustrates the humanity that underscores our convictions and the prices we pay for them.
