Mother Russia tickets
About Mother Russia
‘All these years, I knew: if I could just join the KGB, I wouldn't have to figure out who I was. Because they would tell me!’
1992, St Petersburg. From the ashes of communism, the phoenix of capitalism is rising - bringing with it Filet-o-Fish, Latvian condoms, and a dizzying choice of toothpastes. Old friends Evgeny and Dmitri are young men at the dawn of a new era, determined to secure their futures in this unfamiliar world.
Espionage and racketeering promise the biggest pay cheques, so the lads roll up the sleeves of their new designer shirts and get to work. Their first surveillance target is Katya, a fiery young woman who has lived in the West and acquired a complex history of her own. Evgeny immediately falls for her - but how do you confess your feelings to someone who doesn't know you are listening to their every word…?
Will the newly free market deliver the personal freedoms it promises? Multi award-winning writer Lauren Yee's acerbic comedy receives its UK premiere following a smash-hit run at New York's Signature Theater earlier this year. Previous work includes Cambodian Rock Band (Signature Theater) and The Great Leap (Atlantic Theater, New York).
Mother Russia is directed by Oscar Toeman, making his Hampstead debut. Recent stage work includes Double Indemnity (UK tour), Hundred Feet Tall (Old Vic tour) and Farewell Mr Haffman (Park Theatre).
