DONKEY HEART at Old Red Lion

Nina Raine directs her brother Moses Raine’s powerful new play about contemporary Russian life DONKEY HEART, opening tonight at Islington’s Old Red Lion theatre.

Moscow, now.  A small flat. One family, three generations, the same hangover.  Life after communism is utterly different and yet somehow eerily familiar.  Petya’s dodging the draft, Sasha’s jumping with every ring of the bell, Ivan’s brought a mysterious stranger home, and now their guest Thomas is asking questions.  Who do you trust?  The state may not be spying on you, but can you say the same for your nearest and dearest?

Designed by James Turner, the cast also includes Alex Large.

Tickets are available here.
