Rodney Ackland
Produced at the National Theatre in New York starring John Gielgud and Lillian Gish following a triumphant London production, this is the classic story of a quietly intense student, Raskolnikoff, who kills a pawnbroker and her sister because he considers them parasites, living off the misery of the poor. Trapped by his own ideals and what constitutes "crime", he finds spiritual redemption in his confession and subsequent execution.
