1 week ago The play that changed my life: Eimear McBride on nine hours of Dostoevsky, seen three times

The Maly Drama Theatre of St Petersburg’s wildly imaginative epic The Devils was so extraordinary it demanded another viewing – or twoThe Maly Drama Theatre of St Petersburg’s production of The Devils, based on the novel by Dostoevsky, is one of the extraordinary theatrical achievements of the last 40 years and one of the great experiences of my life – theatrical and otherwise.

I think a lot of us do that.”Morally flexible clergymen, vacillating killers, characters whose desires lead them into terra incognita – this is Guiraudie’s morally unstable terrain. Misericordia is the mirror image of his much-praised 2013 psychological drama Stranger By the Lake.
