What begins for the people of the village as an amusingly alien concept rapidly becomes an unstoppable force for change. Robbed first of their land, then their religion and independence, the whole country soon becomes engulfed by a tragedy that will scar a nation for generations.
Natal'ia Vorozhbit's play The Grain Store was first staged in this English translation by Nina Raine by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in 2009.
REVIEWS:
"A grim subject, but this extraordinary play by Natal'ia Vorozhbit tackles it, in Sasha Dugdale's translation, with passion, intelligence and cunning."
The Guardian
"A disturbing vision of socialist dogma degenerating into corrosive megalomania."
