Notes:
Original Playwright - Aleksander Vampilov (play written 1971). The action takes place in an isolated Siberian community. The play was produced by the Cambridge Theatre Company, and toured nationally in 1983 and 1985.
Synopsis:
gentle satire on a small group of people in a remote village in Russia; it tells of 24 hours in the life surrounding a forest cafe, in which guns are produced, marriages proposed, children banished and. . .and everything stays much the same.
- Paul Allen, New Statesman
