Description
A powerful new play from today's Russia brought to the Fringe by artists in exile due to their anti-war position. A mother of a mobilised Russian soldier plunges into the abyss as she struggles to comb through state propaganda and lies. Where lie the limits of personal responsibility? Can an individual stand up against the system? Echoing the actual political situation in Russia, this dark tale reflects on the price of truth and freedom with a touch of absurdity and disarming sincerity. A look at the country grappling with the reality of war and repressions.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

The play provides a poignant insight into life in Putin's Russia at war where double-speak is the norm and the individual is at the mercy of a cruel and controlling state.

Absolutely superb. Cleverly written and wonderfully performed. You could have heard a pin drop we were all so involved. One of the best things I have seen this festival. Thoroughly recommend.
