My only observation, other than it’s a three-actor adaptation of a well-known classic, is that it is about the possibility of redemption in a time when that message is needed, perhaps more than ever. The idea that someone can change, and change profoundly for the good, seems to be extremely resonant with audiences. Curt Columbus, co-adapter of Crime & Punishment, responding to the question of why the piece has proved so popular at so many theaters all over the country.
