What dream would you protect with your life?
Chris Hannan’s new adaptation of Alexander Galin’s Moscow Olympics drama, Stars in the Morning Sky, is a brand new Belgrade Theatre production directed by Hamish Glen.
The Olympic torch bearer approaches Moscow, heralding the start of the 1980 Olympics. But not everyone is allowed to celebrate.
In a bid to show the world a cleaned-up version of the Soviet Union, the prostitutes and other undesirables have been swept out of the city.
On one unforgettable night, there is both brutality and unexpected romance … as the characters discover what is precious to them – and cling to it for dear life.
Running time: approx. 2 hrs including an interval

“Humanity shines as bright as the Olympic flame in Coventry-based writer Chris Hannan’s adaptation of Alexander Galin’s play.” ****
“The drama arrives at a moving conclusion.” ***
“The dialogue of Chris Hannan’s Irish-accented adaptation has a robust feel.” ***
“Filled with sarcastic humour, Galin’s play brings to life the communist regime of the 1980’s within the dingy confines of Libby Watson’s inspirational set.” ***
“****”
— “The Times”
““Director Hamish Glen offers a moving package with earthy language and lots of humour.” ”
