Dostoyevsky’s titanic novels are transformed into spellbinding crisis. The passionate Karamazov brothers springtime alive, led by their rogue of a father, who entertains himself by consuming, womanizing, and pitting his three sons against each other. In The Idiot, meet the childlike Prince Myshkin, as he comes back towards the decadent sociable whirl of St. Petersburg. Both most beautiful ladies in town compete for his affections, within a duel that increases increasingly dangerous.
