Bookings open! The LP spring season opener at Teatro do Bairro

PUSSYCAT IN MEMORY OF DARKNESS Dear Friend,    We are delighted to announce that bookings are open now for two firsts: our 2024 season opener at Teatro do Bairro, and our first international collaboration, a luminously incisive observation on the loneliness of being human in a state of war, Neda Nezdana's highly toured and  massively well received nugget of theatrical intelligence, a Lisbon Player's presentation of a Finborough theatre production of... Synopsis:  Donbas, 2014. A nameless woman stands in the street. Wearing a pair of dark black sunglasses, she tries to sell a basket of kittens. She has lost everything else she holds dear: her home, her family, her hope.     Russia has taken over Crimea and stirred up ongoing violence in her beloved homeland of Donbas. Betrayed by her neighbour and brutalised by Russian-backed militia, her hope has waned for humanity. She can only now place her hope in finding a home for a basket of kittens, a home she cannot offer.    An urgent piece of new writing from Neda Nezhdana that starkly reveals the roots of Russia's war on Ukraine through the eyes of one woman. Its original production at the Finborough Theatre in August 2022 as part of Two Ukrainian Plays received huge press acclaim. The play was nominated for both Best Lead Performance in A Play and Best New Play (one of three selected finalists) in the OffWestEnd  Playwright Neda Nezhdana Cast & Crew Directed by Polly Creed Translated by John Farndon Scenic and Costume Design by Ola Klos Performed by Kristin Milward   Showtimes @ Teatro do Bairro 8th and 9th February @ 21:30 10th and 11th February @ 16:00    Book now on the BOL website See you when the curtain rises   BUY TICKETS HERE
