The Charlestown Working Theater presents The Natasha Plays, a triptych of monologues
by one of Russia's freshest new theatrical voices, 23-year-old Yaroslava Pulinovich. Natasha's Dream, tells the story of a 16-year-old orphan, Natasha Banina (Julia M. Smith), who finds herself experiencing the first rustlings of love-with dire consequences. The second monologue, I Won, chronicles the upward mobility of another teenager, Natasha Vernikova (Sarah Lloyd), who is a middle-class overachiever who lets nothing get in the way of her personal and professional success. Finally, there is Epilogue, a short piece in which yet another Natasha (Shannon McPhee) offers up a love letter to her favorite pop star, Dima Bilan.
