Drama on 3 - The Gambler

Written by Fyodor Dostoevsky and adapted by Glyn Maxwell. A comic drama based on Dostoevsky's experiences as a young man, is a portrayal of the power of love and money. Glyn Maxwell's new version takes us deep into the mind of Alexei Ivanovich, a young tutor, just as he realises he's falling in love with the strikingly beautiful but unobtainable Polina.
