Chris Hannans exciting and fresh adaptation of one of the most extraordinary novels of all time gets inside the mind of a starving, destitute student who commits a brutal murder and embarks on a dangerous cat and mouse game with the examining magistrate. As his guilt and alienation from society intensifies, only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, offers any hope of redemption.

This adaptation is performed by final year Diploma students of Bristol School of Acting and supported by Degree Technical Theatre Arts students.
