Mother Russia
By Lauren Yee
Directed by Nicholas C. Avila
WORLD PREMIERE
Evgeny and Dmitri are just two average guys who dream of cushy government jobs—but after the fall of the Soviet Union, they end up working retail instead. As they bumble their way through capitalism, they get entangled with an alluring former pop star who has her own secret agenda. This quirky and provocative world premiere comedy by Lauren Yee (The Great Leap, Cambodian Rock Band) reveals what happens when old systems and strongmen fall away, and we let the free market decide—but freedom doesn’t taste as good as we thought it would.
