Plasticine, Paperback / softback Book

Plasticine Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

An extraordinary and disturbing play about post-Communist Russia by a young Siberian-born writer. In a faceless city in the depths of present-day Russia a young boy dies.

Women in the street are drunk, fight and demand sex.

Maksim, a schoolboy, makes his way through this urban hell.

His only retreat is into a private world moulded by himself, out of which springs a final act of reckless courage. Vassily Sigarev's play Plasticine was premiered in this English translation by Sasha Dugdale at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2002.

It won Sigarev the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright, and the Anti-Booker Prize in Moscow.
