Somehow, playwrights Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus managed to shorten Dostoyevsky's masterpiece (you know it's true: fuck The Brothers Karamazov) into a suspenseful 90-minute play, and the adaptation doesn't feel like anything has been omitted. It's film noir taken to its seedy extremes: Galen Joseph Osier's greasy, guilt-ridden Raskolnikov is basically a poor grad student who starts to believe he has power over life and death. Can the bumbling Detective Porfiry crack the case—and save Raskolnikov from himself—before it's too late? You'll leave the theater wishing the play had been twice as long. (Intiman Theater, 201 Mercer St, 269-1900. 2 pm, $10–$42.)
