Fyodor Dostoyevsky's chilling and prophetic story of a society on the verge of revolution updated in an exciting and innovative adaptation by New York playwright Elizabeth Egloff, with all the dark humour of the original... The Devils is a penetrating study of terrorism, and the roots of terrorism, that still resonates today... a controversial political masterpiece about the hunger for democracy that President George Bush quoted from in his inauguration speech. "We have lit a fire in the minds of men". "You may not have a room and you may not have bread but together you will rise up from the gutter and you will change the course of history." The historic events that shocked 1870's Russia... A small band of terrorists try to bring down the tyrannical Tsarist regime. Despite their revolutionary ideals, they end up committing terrible crimes. Among them is the dangerously charismatic Nicholas Stavrogin - described by the French writer Andre Gide as "the most terrifying of Dostoyevsky's creations."
