Notes:

Adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel by Kate McGregor

Synopsis:

Dostoevsky thought his rambling, complex and disorientating short story wasn't that good. Published in 1846, the critics tended to agree with him; but with time its reputation grew. A downtrodden minor Russian clerk, totally socially inept, suffers a psychological breakdown, which starts in paranoia and ends in madness. He is convinced he has a double. But is there really a double? Or is the action taking place entirely in his head? The novella is deliberately ambiguous.
- Robert Tanitch, British Theatre Guide
