The Russian Play and Other Short Works
by Hannah Moscovitch
Four short plays by one of
Canada’s exciting, new theatre voices. In The Russian Play,
the flower-shop girl tells the story of her love for the gravedigger.
Essay casts a teaching assistant in the shadow of his professor
as they argue the merits of a female student’s paper. In USSR,
a young woman relates her journey to Canada from Russia, and Mexico
City follows Henry and Alice on their vacation in 1960. These four
plays bring each character to life in full colour, jumping off the page
before you and onto the stage.
“It’s that rarest of all
theatrical experiments: a clever satire with a beating heart.” —
Kamal al-Solaylee, The Globe and Mail (The Russian Play)
“The storytelling is spare,
compelling, humorous and heartbreaking.” — Lynn Slotkin, CBC
Radio (The Russian Play)
“The imagination of Hannah
Moscovitch makes the audience sit up and squirm for all the right reasons"
— Lynn Slotkin, CBC Radio
“One of Canada’s most promising
playwrights in the independent theatre scene.” —Robert Cushman,
The National Post
