Crime and Punishment

Touring Spring 2026

By Dostoyevsky
Adapted and directed by Laurie Sansom

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 Dostoyevsky’s classic novel, his huge canvas of larger-than-life characters brought to life by just three actors. 

Cast and creative team to be announced.
