| Description |
"This drama splits the novel into four scenes that concentrate on the most easily shown point - the relationship between four people. What comes out is not dramatised Dostoyevsky but it is, at its best, an engrossing play...the play gives us Prince Muishkin, a man suffering from epilepsy who sees things simply and honestly. His disability and his simplicity lead people to call him an idiot." |
