About Crime and Punishment:

Teatr Figur of Krakow, Poland makes its US debut with two different shows featured in this year’s Revolutions Festival. (See also, The Smell of Elephants After Rain)
Crime and Punishment is the physical realization of cruel stories about naughty children written by German psychiatrist Henrich Hoffman at the end of the 19th Century. This puppet theatre experience for families takes the uncompromising moralizing of the author and through the use of object theatre, mask, and puppetry turns it into a wildly entertaining piece of theatre the whole family can enjoy!

*Special Note: This show is appropriate for children ages 6 and up.*
