Realism

Synopsis:
In the summer of 1939 in a small Moscow theatre a company of actors begins rehearsals of a new play to commemorate Stalin's sixtieth birthday. It's a tough gig, because for Soviet artists working towards the Radiant Future the old showbiz maxim 'the show must go on' is an order you can't refuse. another opening, another show trial! Realism is a comedy of nerves, a backstage farce set in a pressure cooker. It's about the spirit that makes art live and the forces that want to crush it.

Notes:
Realism won the 2007 Wal Cherry Award And the 2009 Queensland Premier's Literary Award for Drama. It was Also shortlisted for 2009Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Drama.
