Larry Cedar performs his one-man stage adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND at the Sherry Theater, directed by Pamela Cedar. Dostoevsky's classic novel tells the story of a former civil servant who emerges from some forty years isolation to explain his theories on the human condition through vivid recollections of a distant past. The piece was awarded Best Solo Performance and Best Director awards at the NoHo Arts Fringe Festival. "Mr. Cedar astonishes with his intimate portrait of sad isolationism and astounds at his ability to hold an audience spellbound." - NoHo Arts Reviews

The triumph of basic human empathy, resilience, and moral clarity above intellectual rationalism, I learned from philosophers to avoid ruminating it has this habit of abandoning common sense, presenting a facade, a pretense of uncommon sense....

Reading Notes from Underground is like looking straight into a mirror.

And I can’t stop crying.

When i read it i imagined a character darker.. and slower in speech. Pensive in a way and not so "theatrical"

I've watched this movie many times. The only thing missing is the moment with the officer he tried to hit on on the sidewalk. I'd like to see it performed by you.

JESUS! WHAT A HELL OF A PERFORMANCE. I'm utterly stunned by your acting, the way you deliver and convince as a character most of us would consider "too much weird to be true".

Dostojewski, probably the greatest writer of all times in my opinion

I just finished Notes and it’s a very fascinating, and very cringe, story. The Underground Man is one strange man.

I thought for a while there that you were just gonna do the first half in monologue form - but no! You condensed both parts down into one performance! Great work! Very impressive.
