Atlanta Adult Entertainment: Alliance Theatre Announces National Graduate Playwriting Competition Finalists
Posted on April 28th, 2011 in Atlanta adult entertainment
The Fairytale Lives of Russian Girls, the 2012 Winner of the Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition, will make its world premiere on the Alliance Theatre’s Hertz Stage February 3-26. Written by Yale School of Drama graduate Meg Miroshnik, The Fairytale Lives of Russian Girls collides the rapidly-changing setting of modern Moscow with the darkly funny world of traditional Russian fairy tales. 20-year-old Annie, who left the collapsing Soviet Union for American shores as a baby, has just been sent back to the city of her birth for the summer to stay with her aunt, a woman who acts an awful lot like the girl-eating witch, Baba Yaga. There, she meets the two Katyas, the tragic Masha, whose boyfriend has recently turned into a bear, and a fairy godmother prostitute named Nastya-and the adventures begin. When the lines between reality and fairy tale start to blur, then vanish, things get seriously dicey. A highly theatrical tour de force!
