'A heady brew of lush phrasemaking, puppetry, rock music and whirling physicality that distils Dostoevsky's battle of good and evil into a couple of hours of demented theatrics. Not everyone's cup of tea, to be sure, but it catches how life can be petty, grubby and profound - often all the same time' * Telegraph * 'Unmissable... as brave, as searingly true and as epic as the original' * Sunday Independent, Ireland *
