Pussycat in Memory of Darkness
註釋Take the Rubbish Out, Sasha by Natal'ya Vorozhbit is a play about the shattering impact of war, and the astonishing resilience of those living through it. It blends reality and the supernatural in a startling exploration of the effects of war and conflict, seen through the prism of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was first performed in an English translation by Sasha Dugdale in March 2015 at Òran Mór, Glasgow, in association with the National Theatre of Scotland and the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh. It was also performed at the Finborough Theatre, London, in August 2022, as part of a festival of Ukrainian plays. It was published by Nick Hern Books in the volume Voices from Ukraine: Two Plays. Sasha, a Colonel in the Ukrainian Army, has died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving his relatives Katia and Oksana to mourn for him. But a year later, as war intensifies, the army has resorted to recruiting the dead. Sasha is anxious to be resurrected so he can rejoin the fight, but can his family bear to lose him all over again? The Finborough Theatre production was directed by Svetlana Dimcovic and performed by Alan Cox, Issy Knowles and Amanda Ryan.
