Curt’s adaptation of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment (with Marilyn Campbell) has won awards and accolades at theaters around the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.  The New York Times said of the adaptation, “[I]n a feat that rivals the construction of the Hoover Dam, Crime and Punishment has been distilled into a taut 90-minute play, now at the 59E59 Theaters, which will banish any bad memories you might have of trying to struggle through Dostoyevsky’s book… Who would have thought that the novel no high school student has ever finished reading would make such engrossing theater?”
