The Story of The Diary of a Madman tickets

Starring Tony Award-winning actor Geoffrey Rush, Brooklyn Academy of Music presents the U.S. premiere of Nikolai Gogol's Diary of a Madman. Directed by Exit the King director Neil Armfield and starring Australian actress Yael Stone, this new adaptation by David Holman first premiered at Belvoir Street Theatre in December 2010 to rave reviews. The play, which centers on the life of Poprischin, a minor civil servant in the era of Nicholas I., is written in diary-entry format as he longs for the senior official's daughter and is engulfed by his own delusions. The story, which satirizes state bureaucracy in 1830's St. Petersburg, also explores the themes of individuality and the cruelty of the world. As this dynamic production designed by Catherin Martin (set), Tess Scholfield ( costumes), Mark Shelton (lighting design), Paul Charlier ( sound design), is presented at the illustrious Harvey Theater, fans seek Diary Of a Madman tickets with baited breath.
