The Dream of a Ridiculous Man
Production Company: Common Ground Theatre Company
Venue: The Corn Hall
By Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Adapted by Pat Whymark from the short story The Dream of the Ridiculous Man by Dostoevsky.
A fantastical tale of new beginnings, featuring Julian Harries as the Ridiculous Man, with Pat Whymark and Emily Bennett providing live musical accompaniment. It tells the story of a man who, much like Scrooge in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, has a dream which saves his life, brings him back from the edge of despair, reconnects him to society and restores his faith in humanity.
It's a poignant, funny and cathartic piece, particularly appropriate for this present moment in time.
Approx 50 mins, no interval.

“It takes real skill to take a sturdy piece of classic literature and turn it into one of the most imaginative shows of the year.”
