‍

A sensational exposé of modern day Russia.

Re-uniting the Director and Producers behind last year’s sell-out, five-star THE WHITE FACTORY, a thrilling drama unfolds based on the last words of women accused of political crimes in Russian courts.

These powerful, outspoken messages from the courtroom form one of the only surviving bastions of free speech imaginable in contemporary Russia. The performance brings together the last words of defendants such as Pussy Riot’s  Maria Alyokhina & Nadezhda Tolokonnikova to shine a light on their courage and to paint a timely and devastating picture of Russia’s current regime.

The Last Word is performed by Alisa Khazanova and directed by award-winning director Maxim Didenko (The White Factory).
