Summary:
The year is 1942, the setting: a city in the Tver region. Gelik, a very young lieutenant, and a girl named Ina were taken hostage by an insane divisional commander. By some miracle they managed to escape, but many years later, Gelik, during a conversation with a friend, suddenly realizes that the divisional commander's madness was nothing but play-acting: he had foreseen that all attempts to escape from the war would be seen as desertion - all, that is, except raving madness and affront (tearing into battle and killing everyone in your path).
2008. Ina, now a very elderly woman, falls victim to a telephone prankster who begins terrorising her. Gradually his daily calls become a kind of drug on which she depends. She discovers that he knows something about her life, and the remarks he makes evoke distant memories: there was a time, long ago, when she was a reporter, and she seems to recall travelling to Afghanistan, where she fell in love. In her mind, the love she once knew has not retained a specific form and features, but it still responds to her memories with a furious force.
The protagonists survived the war and are rescued from captivity. They are not able, however, to leave the experiences of the war behind them and move on with their lives. The novel explores what happens once the conflict is over, as they learn to live without the war, with all their loves, passions and weaknesses.

?LOYALTY, honour and love are explored in the Old Mill Theatre's latest offering, the quintessential Australian play No Names, No Pack Drill.
For the third installment of his New York Cabaret's Greatest Hits--a wonderful new monthly series at the Metropolitan Room celebrating award winning and critically acclaimed cabaret shows of the past--Producer Stephen Hanks (and his Cabaret Life Productions) wisely chose Maxine Linehan's What Would Petula Do? A Tribute to Petula Clark. Although this show won no awards, nor received critical acclaim in 2009 (when I first saw it at the Laurie Beechman Theatre), Linehan's revival this past Monday night of one of her first cabaret shows could certainly be considered one the best of this or any year.
The director and designers behind Rubicon Theatre Company's acclaimed environmental productions ofFiddler on the Roof and Man of La Mancha have reunited on the two-piano chamber version of the legendary Lerner and Loewe's classic My Fair Lady. Based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, the musical tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins, an arrogant and attractive phonetician who makes a wager that he can transform a 'deliciously low' Cockney flower-seller (Eliza Doolittle) into an elegant lady by teaching her to speak more beautifully. The magnificent score includes 'I Could Have Danced All Night,' 'On the Street Where You Live,' 'Wouldn't It Be Loverly,' and 'I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face.' For Rubicon's production, Director James O'Neil returns to the source material to explore the Shavian themes of class struggle, social reform and women's rights.
