US PREMIERE!
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.
