Notes From Underground

French theatre director Gerald Garutti and one of the UK's most exciting young actors, Harry Lloyd, team up to deliver their modern adaptation of Notes From Underground, from the novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, which was presented to great acclaim in Paris earlier this year.

An atmospheric production, Notes from Underground is a powerful monologue delivered by a man locked away from society by his own choosing.

Both terrified and scornful of the Real World, he shares the philosophy he has nurtured ‘underground’, explaining why it is natural and essential to act as he does. He tells stories from Above, when he used to interact with others, and we begin to understand both the madness and the pity of this tormented man as he self-consciously self-destructs.
