Mother Russia

Seattle Repertory

|

Director: Nicolas C. Avila

This world premiere comedy by Lauren Yee is set in Russia in 1992 and looks at what happens when people suddenly have to navigate having choices in their lives. The music was primarily (thought not exclusively) rooted in a late 1980s glam metal, with some Russian folk melodies sprinkled throughout.

A transition.

Another transition.

Late in the play Katya shares a demo she's made to be the Russian 'voice' of Folgers Coffee. Katya was played (and sung) by Andi Alhadeff.

The curtain call featured a late-80s rock rendition of the main Swan Lake theme.
