MARIA’S FIELD: Post Your Review

Posted by DCA Theater on January 5, 2009 in January-June 2009 Season, Maria's Field

January 20, 2009 — February 22, 2009
Storefront Theater
Presented by TUTA Theatre Chicago

TUTA Theatre looks back at a lost generation of Russian women in this English language translation of one of Russia’s most exciting young playwrights, Oleg Bogaev. Through laughter and tears, three one-hundred year old maidens journey through their own lives and the enchanted forest of 20th century Russian history. In fairytale-like adventures, they meet Hitler, Stalin, Marshal Zhukov, and even movie stars of their youth, eventually finding their sweethearts, Russian soldiers who went to the WWII and never returned.

Christopher Piatt of Time Out Chicago writes, “TUTA once again showcases a hitherto unpresented European voice in a sinewy, expressionistic (and, in this case, frisky) Chicago premiere.” Click here to read the review.

Albert Williams of the Chicago Reader writes: “Under the direction of Luda Lopatina and Zeljko Djukic, the acting is emotionally precise, and the superb scenic, lighting, costume, and sound designs create a realistic environment for the play’s poetic ruminations on the material and mystic nature of life and death.” Click here to read the review.
