The stage production of Eugenia Ginzburg's haunting memoirs has become one of the biggest hits in Russian theatre. This surrealistic nightmare of Stalin's prison system tells the story of one woman's survival through interrogation and torture, transporting its audience to a strange, Goyaesque world, reminiscent of Dante's circles of Hell. The Moscow-based Sovremennik Theatre is one of the giants of the Russian theatrical and artistic landscape. The company has toured extensively in Europe and America and were the first foreign company to win an American Drama Desk Award. Now the West End can experience Sovremennik's stylish productions, with lavish, visually stunning scenery and costumes and performances honed on stages across the world. The play is performed in Russian with English surtitles.
