“Whispering to Dostoevsky – A Love Story” at The Players’ Ring

Players’ Ring Theatre
105 Marcy St
Portsmouth, NH 03801 US

Written and Directed by Rich McElvain

The extraordinary (love) story of Fyodor Dostoevsky and the woman who became “the architect of his life”.

When his unscrupulous publisher had a gun to his head to complete a book in a month, Fyodor Dostoevsky reached out to a school that taught a new science called Stenography. The woman he hired, Anna, would soon become his indispensable collaborator, his lover, his wife and eventually his publisher. Together they survived his bouts with epilepsy, gambling addiction, dreadful debt, and the death of two children. Anna truly became “the architect of his life”,  and throughout it all, they remained hopelessly in love as Dostoevsky climbed to become one of the greatest novelists of all time.
