What is it about:

About The Fairytale Lives of Russian Girls

Once upon a time—in 2005—a twenty-year-old girl named Annie returned to her native Russia to brush up on the language and lose her American accent. Underneath a glamorous Post-Soviet Moscow studded with dangerously high heels, designer bags, and luxe fur coats, she discovers an enchanted motherland teeming with evil stepmothers, wicked witches, and ravenous bears. Annie must learn how to become the heroine of a story more mysterious and treacherous than any childhood fairytale: her own.

 

A finalist for the 2012 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, The Fairytale Lives of Russian Girls marks the Yale Rep debuts of Whiting Writers' Award winning playwright Meg Miroshnik and two-time OBIE Award winning director Rachel Chavkin, who recently staged the celebrated musical Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 in New York. 

 

CONTAINS SMOKING, STRONG LANGUAGE, AND ADULT CONTENT as well as loud music and singing, haze and fog.

 

What the critics are saying: 

CT Post: With the Olympics just underway, and lots of talk about post-communist Russia everywhere you turn, the timing of “The Fairytale Lives of Russian Girls” is just about perfect. Pinning the play down to one conventional genre is almost impossible, but the pleasure to be found in this free-flowing piece of theater is considerable.  Yale Rep has given this fresh, completely original, new play the sort of carefully crafted, large scale production that we rarely see in New York these days. A willfully eccentric play that would be done on a tiny budget off off Broadway has been given the sheen and technical expertise of a Broadway musical. It’s a real kick.
