Exclusive one time only performance by leading Russian theatre Teatr.doc “Misha & Lena”

Pushkin House in association with the Stanislavski Centre, Rose Bruford College, is delighted to present an exclusive performance of the play “Misha and Lena” by ground-breaking Russian theatre company Teatr.doc.

This deeply moving play is about Mikhail Ugarov and Elena Gremina, the founders of Teatr.doc using material from their social media posts over many years, telling the story of their own relationship and that of the theatre, and the problems they faced right up to their untimely deaths in April and May 2018. Gremina and Ugarov brought a new voice to Russian theatre, and documented political repressions in Russia over recent years.

The play is by Zarema Zaudinova, who trained closely with Ugarov and Gremina over the last three years of their lives, and translated into English by Sasha Dugdale. The play premiered at Pushkin House in October 2018 and is back due to popular demand.

In English with Russian surtitles.
