The Karamazovs are a train wreck waiting to happen. A hated father and his sons battle it out over women, money and God. This is them, uncompromising and on the edge. They don't so much live as burn up. Behind them lurks a servant, taking note of it all; and to the side, two beautiful women, clinging onto impossible loves.
A radical reinterpretation of The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoyevsky's classic and compelling tale of family rivalries, Delirium is the hilarious, brutal and tragic story of the fight between good and evil where the battlefield is the human heart.
Weaving together text, grotesque puppetry, dance, animation and song, Delirium received its first full production in 2008 at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, before transferring to London's Barbican.
Depicts the struggle to survive in a world losing its moral and ethical boundaries. This work dramatizes the way that the actions of the fundamentalist threaten to overthrow the established order, heralding an era where 'everything is permitted'.
Hilarious, brutal and tragic, Delirium is a radical re-interpretation of The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's classic and compelling tale of family rivalries. The play is the result of a collaboration between acclaimed company theatre o and award-winning playwright Enda Walsh.
