Petersburg Passage-a shopping arcade and recreation complex, comprising restaurants, exhibitions, amateur theater, and the Literary Fund-was a remarkable center of public life in imperial Russia. The script is available through Nick Hern Books. The script as written incorporates three main characters, and multiple other roles ‘all played by the same actor in different hats’.
The play includes the styles of theatre of the absurd and comedy and has been described as an allegory of capitalist inhumanity and a sharp satire on political celebrity. Tom Basden turns Dostoevsky’s allegory of capitalist inhumanity into a sharp satire on political celebrity in the Twitter age… by turns absurd, charming and subtly sinister. The play is about a struggling actor (a civil servant in Dostoyevsky’s story) who begins to receive the recognition he feels he deserves only after being swallowed whole by a crocodile at the zoo. The Crocodile is a play based on an 1865 short story of the same name by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The production contains infrequent use of coarse language and the suggestion of, but no actual, nudity.
