What if your best intentions became your worst humiliation?
An Unpleasant Predicament is Fyodor Dostoevsky's brilliantly satirical tale of social comedy and personal folly. It follows the misadventures of Ivan Pralinsky, a high-minded official whose prideful attempt at generosity lands him in a night of drunken embarrassment.
In this modern translation, Dostoevsky's sharp wit and psychological insight come through with clarity and humor, offering listeners an unforgettable experience of awkward self-delusion and crumbling dignity.
What You'll Hear in This Adaptation:
- A sharp and ironic comedy about power, pride, and social class
- A modern, listener-friendly version of Dostoevsky's classic tale
- A character study that turns awkwardness into brilliance
- A cautionary tale that reveals the ridiculous in the respectable
Perfect for fans of psychological fiction, dark humor, and timeless social critique.
Step into this unforgettable evening of well-intentioned disaster.
