In 1917 their world was full of love, hope, and the certainty of an end to poverty and hatred. Things didn’t turn out like that.
The true story of Rose Cohen in Moscow as Stalin’s purges began. Can her former lover, now Britain’s Communist leader and a drinking chum of Stalin, protect her?
“A compelling historical drama” from Francis Beckett, author of sell-out shows Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want To Talk To You and A Modest Little Man. Vodka with Stalin returns to the Gatehouse after two sell-out runs in 2023.
Running Time: 2 hours including interval
