“I am a sick man. . . . I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased.” So begins Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky’s 1864 existentialist novella, NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND, which follows the rantings of a bitter, cynical civil servant who retreats from conventional society for myriad reasons. OBIE-winning actor Bill Camp and director Robert Woodruff have adapted Dostoevsky’s classic for the Yale Repertory Theatre, which will be presenting the New York premiere in conjunction with Theatre for a New Audience at the Baryshnikov Arts Center November 7-28. Camp will also star as the Underground Man in the ninety-minute production. The 2:00 performance on November 13 will be followed by a discussion with Wallace Shawn, and Emily Gould will participate in a discussion following the 2:00 performance on November 20.
