An origin story of contemporary Russian propaganda and, perhaps, its most notorious oligarch.
Describe the Night by Rajiv Joseph is an Obie Award-winning thriller exploring the intersection of truth, propaganda, and history across 90 years of Russian history (1920–2010).
In 1920, the Russian writer Isaac Babel wanders the countryside with the Red Cavalry. Seventy years later, a mysterious KGB agent spies on a woman in Dresden and falls in love. In 2010, an aircraft carrying most of the Polish government crashes in the Russian city of Smolensk. Set in Russia over the course of ninety years, this thrilling and epic play by Rajiv Joseph traces the stories of seven men and women connected by history, myth and conspiracy theories.
November 5-15, 2026, at Shelton Auditorium
Directed by Paige Scott
Thursday and Friday at 7:30, Saturday at 4:00, Sunday at 2:00. Tickets at the door or online.
