About Face Theatre
Adapted and Directed by Ensemble Member David Catlin
From the book by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
At a time in the mid-19th century Russia when each woman’s fate is arranged and bargained for, a brilliant and adored young woman struggles to escape the brutal realities of high society. Can one man, a frail and simple outsider, save her from her own self-destruction? Filled with incredible characters who live as if everything were on fire, The Idiot is both a melodramatic thriller and a spiritual quest that exposes the ugly underbelly of St. Petersburg’s upper crust, as well as the sublime and comic impulses of human nature.
