by Dostoevsky
Translated, adapted and performed by Boris Isarov

"A Dostoevsky black comedy; translated by Russian emigre actor Boris Isarov. A drunken writer wanders into a grave-yard, hears a symphony of surrounding voices: they are the chattering corpses and Isarov plays them all." (Anne Karpf, The Observer)
"He gives an astonishing performance, his mass of voices transforming life into a grasping ludicrous, hypocritical metaphor of something no longer all-important." (Peter Vansittart, The Times)
