Theater: The Diary of a Madman

Aksenty Ivanovich Poprichtchine, a discreet civil servant in Saint Petersburg, struggles to find his place in the world: he lives alone with his housekeeper Mavra, his loves and ambitions thwarted by his clumsiness and absentmindedness. He then invents a far more enviable life for himself, until he loses all touch with reality. An adaptation of the funniest and most touching of the Petersburg Tales for three performers: Poprichtchine, his housekeeper Mavra, and a pianist who accompanies this surprising descent into madness on stage with pieces by Prokofiev. A theatrical adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's masterpiece about the extraordinary aspirations of a minor civil servant.
