King's Head Theatre
31st March - 1st April 2019
The critically acclaimed play transferred to the King's Head theatre in Spring 2019, with Arts Council support.
The Soviet Union. 1967. The Space Race is at its height. One woman, Polina Semyenova, is at the centre of it all. She is the listener.
Hidden away in the pithily named ‘Closed Military Townlet No. 1’, Polina looks back on her dreams of being part of the great Communist movement, during one of the most dramatic decades of the Cold War.
Join Polina as she reaches for the stars, and journeys through some of the brightest and darkest moments of the Space Race.
