The Idiot by FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY translated by CONSTANCE GAR -NETT and adapted for radio in two parts by WILLIAM ASH with David Timson , Sarah Badel and Stephen Murray Part 2
Prince Myshkin is torn between a desire to help the tragic Nastasva and distress at his inability to save her from self-destruction. Rogozhin, whose passion for Nastasya has none of the Prince's intellectual idealism, is driven by jealousy to attempt to murder him. An attempt that fails because Myshkin suffers an epileptic fit as Rogozhin is about to strike.
