2026/27 SEASON

A collection of kitchen tools and quirky items on a yellow-blue painted background: jar of pickles, rolling pin, spatula, whisk, knife, lipstick, and a grenade-shaped shaker.

My Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion

by Sasha Denisova
Translated by Misha Kachman | Adapted by Kellie Mecleary
Directed by Michael Stevenson
November 18 – December 20, 2026

Sasha’s 82-year-old mother has lived in Kyiv her whole life. When Russia invades Ukraine in 2022, Sasha copes with her fears by imagining her mother in increasingly fantastical situations: strategizing with President Zelenskyy, striking Russian drones with jars of pickles, and even debating with God. Playwright Sasha Denisova was inspired by WhatsApp chats with her mother to write this darkly funny and deeply heartfelt new play.

“A study in the wonderful absurdity of a stubbornly resistant woman under fire.” –THE WASHINGTON POST
