A stage version of the novel in letters between Makar Devushkin and Varvara Dobroselova. On stage - a free interpretation of the novel, where a "third wheel" appears, standing between the lovers, creating obstacles to their relationship, ruthlessly mocking and ridiculing their naive feelings. But what the "poor people" are truly capable of becomes clear only in the unpredictable finale of the play. Dostoevsky's epistolary novel became a landmark for him - it delighted Nekrasov and Belinsky, after which the writer believed in himself, his talent, and his possibilities. Belinsky said of this work: "The novel reveals such secrets of life and character that no one had dreamed of before." Duration of the play - 2 hours and 15 minutes with one intermission. Starring: Valery Dyachenko, Yulia Nezhelskaya, and Radik Galiulin. For more plays in St. Petersburg, check our website in the theater section.
