Lauren Yee brings another of her plays to Seattle—this time about Russia, but also about us
Only in hindsight did playwright Lauren Yee realize that she had written a “cycle of communism plays.”
Yee’s so-called “cycle” started with the play, “Cambodian Rock Band,” followed by “The Great Leap,” set in China in the 1980s.
Her newest release, “Mother Russia,” covers a portion of the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s.
