Lauren Yee's Sharp New Comedy Debuts In London!

Multiple award-winning writer Lauren Yee brings her new comedy to London, making its premiere at the Hampstead Theatre this February! Weaving a darkly comic tale of love, identity, and state surveillance in post-Soviet 1990s St Petersburg, Mother Russia is a whip-smart piece of unmissable theatre that has been garnering critical acclaim across the pond in New York.

What Is The Story?

It's 1992, and St Petersburg is really starting to change. The Soviet Union has gone, and Americanisms are filling the gap. Sneaking through this new world are young surveillance agents and old friends, Evgeny and Dmitry. Their lives are about to change when they start tailing the mysterious singer Katya - and Evgeny is finding himself falling absolutely head over heels. As they get deeper into the chase, Evgeny will start to question the allegiances of his life and where his heart really belongs. The world is getting a whole lot bigger.
