A riotous new comedy about the curse of freedom and having to choose between the Filet-o-Fish and the Big Mac.
About this Event
**Mother Russia by Lauren Yee****
**Directed by Josh Hecht****
Evgeny and Dmitri are just two average guys who dream of cushy government jobs—but when the fall of the Soviet Union puts hiring on hold, they find work surveilling a former pop star instead. As they bumble their way through the assignment, both spying and life under capitalism prove harder than they thought. This prescient and thought-provoking comedy by Lauren Yee
(The Great Leap, Cambodian Rock Band)
reveals what happens when old systems and strongmen fall away, and we let the free market decide—but freedom doesn’t taste as good as we thought it would.
