A power-hungry authoritarian who will stop at nothing to hang onto power. Accusations of widespread election fraud. Mass protests that turn violent. Sound familiar? Such things used to be unimaginable in the United States. Frighteningly, that’s no longer the case. But can we learn a lesson from what happened in the 2020 election in Belarus? While our would-be dictator fell short, another did not—Alexander Lukashenko. Through brutal repression, mass arrests, torture, and murders of innocent protestors he still has an iron grip on the country. This play, a strong voice in the global fight against autocracy, is the story of a determined, fearless people who are willing to fight for a democratically elected government. Are we soon going to be called on to do the same? City Garage is proud to present the English-language world premiere production of this powerful play.

 

The author will be with us for the opening weekend performances. Join us for a Q & A with him following the Sunday, November 19th performance at 4:00pm. There will also be a Q&A with the cast and crew following the Sunday, December 10th performance at 4:00pm.

 

Join us for a reading of the companion piece to this play, “Voices of the New Belarus,” Thursday, December 7th at 8:00pm. Admission is by donation. All proceeds go to the Viasna Human Rights Center, which is fighting for democracy in Belarus. For more information: https://spring96.org/en.
