About
** Runtime includes one 15-minute intermission **
Written by Grigory Kanovich
Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre of Russia
Rimas Tuminas’ adaptation of two novels by fellow Lithuanian Grigory Kanovich is a dreamy, ruminative, comedic road trip, centering around the parlous fortunes of Eastern European Jews at the start of the 20th century. A period piece that carries a modern conscious, Smile Upon Us is a Beckett-like “Waiting for Jehovah” that has garnered rave reviews during its recent runs in both London and New York, and promises to be just as memorable on the big screen. Featuring three towering figures of the Russian stage, Viktor Sukhorukov, Aleksei Guskov and Vladimir Simonov.
