Written by famed Russian dramatist and novelist, Nikolai Gogol, “Diary of a Madman” still continues to capture audiences today.  This hugely popular one-man show makes its return to the stage this May 2016!  Adapted for the Stage by Eugene Lazarev and Ilia Volok, “Diary of a Madman” tells the story of a low-ranking civil servant who yearns to be noticed by a beautiful woman, with whom he has fallen in love. As his madness deepens, he begins to believe himself to be the heir to the throne of Spain.  His diary records his gradual slide into insanity as he yearns for individuality in a seemingly indifferent, urban city.
