Notes from Underground at Mile Square Theatre

Notes from Underground is a U.S. premiere solo adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, produced by Studio Garage and directed by Celal Mordeniz. Performed entirely by award-winning Turkish actor Nadir Sarıbacak, the production transforms Dostoevsky's iconic work into a work of storytelling theatre, with a single actor embodying the novel's complex world and its narrator, the Underground Man. The adaptation embraces the intimacy of narrative theatre, bringing the Underground Man's emotional and philosophical journey directly to the audience through language, performance, and minimal staging. The production marks Sarıbacak's return to live theatre after ten years, and his first appearance on an American stage.
