About this Event
Join us for a special fundraising event to support the staging of People Disappear, a play written by Chris Bowers (Safe Haven, Arcola Theatre), directed by Sofia Barysevich (Boogie on the Bones, Julia.1984, 1984 – Lustrum Award Winner 2024), and performed by Within Theatre, a London-based company of Slavic performers.
Set in Stalin’s Moscow, People Disappear is a powerful and evocative play exploring certainty, doubt and political repression. As the fate of a poet intertwines with the Soviet-made famine in Ukraine, the play draws striking parallels between history and current events.
The reading will be introduced by a former British Ambassador to the region and will include a 15-minute interval. Audience members will be invited to share their feedback following the performance.
Drinks will be provided.
Join us for an afternoon of theatre, reflection and conversation, and help bring People Disappear to the stage.
