 This Sunday I have the pleasure of doing a reading as a part of The Cutting Ball Variety Pack. The play is Natasha's Dream, by Russian playwright Yaroslava Pulinovich and translated by John Freedman. Paige Rogers is directed the reading and Rob Melrose will be leading the discussion on Sunday. It's a wonderfully weaved story; as CBT's website describes it: This simple play may shock you: Natasha's Dream is a young orphan’s retelling of her upbringing in rural Russia magnifing the class divide. Playwright Yaroslava Pulinovich was born in Omsk, Russia in 1989 and is well-known in the Russian theater – her work showcased at New Drama Festival, Moscow's Playwright and Director Center, and the Kiselev Young Spectator Theatre in Saratov – but this play, in John Freedman’s translation, has only been read and performed a handful of times in the United States. According to critic Oleg Loevsky, Natasha’s Dream is "the reason for people to work in theatre." Come check it out: Sunday February 11th at 2pm. More information here.
