The Old Globe has announced that due to popular demand there will be a one-week extension for the Globe-commissioned world premiere of Crime and Punishment, A Comedy, written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen and directed by Greenberg. The production, which begins previews on July 15, is now extended through August 20, 2023 only.

The Old Globe has announced the full cast and creative team for the Globe-commissioned world premiere of Crime and Punishment, A Comedy, written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen and directed by Greenberg.

The production that opened June 10 at the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theater was consistently enjoyable, but never enchanting.

It also drags.
