Gogol's Madman
by Gareth Nicholls
based on 'Diary Of A Madman' by Nikolai Gogol
Featuring new music
by Hu McEvoy
Saddled with a surname
meaning pimple, hounded by talking dogs, and harassed by his plate-smashing
mother, life is hard for St. Petersburg's most misunderstood lonely
heart. When Poprishchin falls truly, deeply...and madly in love, reason
and order fall spectacularly apart.
Using the company's
trademark transformation of everyday objects into the stuff of nightmares,
Little Earthquake presents an inventive, highly-charged stage version
of Gogol's gripping story, recently voted by Penguin as one of the best
books ever written.
The 2006/07 tour
of Gogol's Madman was supported by The National Lottery through Arts
Council England.
