Crime and Punishment

Murder. A cat-and-mouse chase.  

In the heart of a bustling city, a penniless student murders in cold blood. He is caught in a spiral of paranoia and delusion as a cunning detective circles. Only the chance of love offers a way out.  

What drives a young man to murder? This powerful production explores a society where some people will do anything to survive. 

Northern Broadsides bring their bold and playful style to Dostoevsky’s classic novel, his huge canvas of larger-than-life characters brought to life by just three actors. 

Crime and Punishment contains haze, strobe lighting, depictions of blood and violence, references to animal cruelty, references to suicide and some strong language. For further details on content guidance, click here.
