You live your life the best way you can and then a War breaks out in your country. It influences you and everyone you know in all sorts of different ways. Impossible to ignore, War is something no one can escape – man, woman, child, artist, intellectual or an elephant, dead or alive – you have to respond the best way you can.
War turns some of us into heroes as they decide to go to the front line. Others choose to stay home and lead reasonably normal, everyday lives, continue to look after children, wives and the elderly.
There is a woman waiting for a call from her lover who has gone to fight for their country. Always waiting, whatever she is doing, every moment of her life she is actively waiting. Lack of communication suggests death, and nothing but death. Constant waiting exhausts her. Will her lover ever be back from the war? Has that Big Love any chance to survive or is it totally unfeasible or unattainable?
Will Tomorrow ever come? Is there a tomorrow? Aren’t all tomorrows truly impossible during the course of today? Even though they clearly are, there are some times when they are more impossible than during times of peace.
Come to The Cockpit on Friday night, 14 September, and hear a staged reading of a new piece by an established Kyiv-born writer Natalia Vorozhbyt (her previous work in the UK includes: Bad Roads and Maidan Diaries at the Royal Court, London; The Grain Store at the RSC; Take the Rubbish Out, Sasha at Òran Mór Theatre, Glasgow).
TBC: After the reading there will be a Q&A with the director and the writer (via Skype from Kyiv).
