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.

What drives a young man to murder? This powerful award-winning production explores a society where some people will do anything to survive.

Northern Broadsides bring their bold and playful style to one of the world’s greatest novels, in this “gripping portrait of Dostoevsky’s murderous antihero” (The Guardian).
