One of the most resonant directors in the country, Konstantin Bogomolov, presents his second play on the stage of the "Shelter of the Comedian" and the third in St. Petersburg. Konstantin Bogomolov shared that he had already staged "Crime" based on Dostoevsky's novel in Italy. The production was festival-based, so there were only a few performances. In St. Petersburg, the director continued to work with this material, embodying Dostoevsky in the spirit of Tarantino, where the philosophical side of the novel takes a back seat to a peculiar Russian "crime fiction." The format of the "Shelter of the Comedian" is such that it does not have a permanent troupe, and directors decide for themselves whom they want to see in their works. Actors from leading St. Petersburg theaters will portray the characters of Dostoevsky. Dmitry Lysenko, a former actor of the Alexandrinsky Theater, plays Raskolnikov, whose debut at the "Shelter of the Comedian" took place in the play "The Man from Podolsk." The cast also includes artists from BDT, the Lensovet Theater, and more. You can find even more plays in St. Petersburg on our website in the theater section.
