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.

Since it was formed in 2005, Little Earthquake has built a reputation for unearthing the curious stories which lurk in the neglected corners of our imaginations. Gogol’s Madman was the company’s debut production, last seen in 2008 and now revived by popular demand, which is returning to the Midlands for two performances only before heading off for future dates in Australia.
