Russian Plays by Richard Crane

Russian Plays by Richard Crane

Prize winning adaptations of four seminal Russian plays collected together for the first time. A collection of plays from Richard Crane, these four plays flourished out of a unique collaboration of author and director, which saw them progressing from fringe to mainstream, West End and Off-Broadway.

Superlative - fascinating - a brilliant distillation - Where the RSC's Nicholas Nickleby tackles a great novel with sound and fury and a cast of fifty, Crane's Brothers Karamazov does it with stealth and implication and a cast of four* Punch *
The sensation of Festival drama - Satan's Ball offers an imaginative experience of a high order, blending ideas and feeling with great dramatic force - by turns comic, bleak and stirring. * Sunday Times *
