Opis

Gogols short story, Diary of a Madman, adapted for the stage.""This is a play about an individuals descent into madness, brought to life by a brilliant trio of actor David Bromley, director Scott Le Crass, and author Howard Colyer. But what makes the play interesting is that Gogols protagonist defies the literary mould: he has a condition usually reserved for tormented kings and ladies imprisoned in the attic. Rather than being ordinary, he is extraordinary, a term peppering Howard Colyers script. Through Poprishchin, Gogol portrays his contempt for government and bureaucracy, and allows this lowly civil servant to become a leader...at least in his own mind."" Emma Slater, London Theatre, reviewing the production at the Jack Studio.
