Theatre Artists Studio Presents Lenin’s Embalmers 4/7-23
By: Gabrielle Sierra
Lenin's Embalmers, by Vern Thiessen and Directors Debra Rich & Tom Noga
Synopsis: In Thiessen's wacky comedy, two Jewish scientists try to improve their lot in life by attempting the unthinkable: Embalming the Father of the Russian Revolution for eternity. With the firing squad as their only alternative to success, the two men - assisted by a posthumous Lenin himself - struggle against a maniacal wannabe dictator, a haranguing Jewish wife, and a series of screwball scenarios that send both of them careening towards the gulag.
