A topical tale about injustice, deceit, passion and the search for the truth
(Summer 2014 Production)


Russian landowner, Zhenya, sows wild oats with one of his peasant girls, but puts it all behind him when he marries - or so he believes.

Inspired by a Tolstoy short story, the play follows Zhenya’s obsession and its murderous consequence, as he finds himself driven mad with desire for Stepashka.  Desperate to end his guilty liaison and safeguard his marriage, he shoots her and stands trial for murder. But can there be true justice in an unjust society?  And is it guilt, insanity or the supernatural that finally haunts him?
#TheDevilandStepashka

★★★★ The superstitiously secular, domestic world of Claire Booker’s The Devil and Stepashka manages to create a believable male Antigone in what ends up to be very literally one hell of a double-bind. - Exeunt Magazine
★★★★ The production is gripping and thought-provoking from beginning to end and left the audience with something to ponder and think on. (...) Booker’s play is very brave as well as unusual and this production is one of those hidden gems on the London Fringe. - Remotegoat
★★★★"The world is full of women with no voice of their own or no one to speak on their behalf. It is good that Goblin Baby Theatre in its own way highlights their plight in an entertaining, but provoking fashion." - Female Arts
