Head to the theatre with a gift certificate for 2 tickets to Round House Theatre's production of Crime and Punishment, showing from April 4 through April 29, 2007 in Bethesda. This new award-winning adaptation of Dostoyevsky's literary masterpiece took Chicago by storm in 2004 and is making its way around the country's regional theaters. Wildly theatrical and rich in language, Columbus and Campbell's Crime and Punishment condenses the action down to 90 minutes, and features a cast of three performers in an acting tour de force. This conversation on the nature of evil is set in the mind of a murderer where he relives and explores - through the urging of a detective and a young prostitute - the thoughts, ideas and feelings that drove him to his horrible crime. The play is a psychological landscape, a thrilling journey into the mind of a killer and his search for redemption. Raskolnikov, the murderer, speaks directly to the audience at times, making his case and taking us on a spiritual journey that seeks to unveil hidden dimensions of the human condition.
