THE FAIRYTALE LIVES OF RUSSIAN GIRLS
By Meg Miroshnik. Directed by Caitlin Lowans (MFA)
Friday, May 4, 2018 at 7:30PM

Ethel M. Barber Theatre
30 Arts Circle Drive
on the Evanston campus of Northwestern University
Evanston, IL 60208
Located on the southeast part of the Evanston Campus, just off Sheridan Road and Campus Drive. The Barber Theatre is at the top of the hill facing the lake, right next to the Block Museum, in the Arts Circle.

This production contains strong language, frank talk about sex, stylized violence, people in undergarments, and a bear! Recommended for ages 12 and older.

Once upon a time—in 2005—a young woman named Annie returns to her native Russia to lose her American accent. Underneath a glamorous post-Soviet Moscow studded with dangerously high heels and luxurious fur coats, bubbles an enchanted motherland teeming with wicked witches, evil stepmothers, and ravenous bears. As lines between folk tale and reality disappear, Annie must become the heroine of an adventure more dangerous than any childhood fairytale: her own. This subversive story carries a powerful message for young women living in a world where there are no princes and not everything ends happily ever after.

The running time for this production is 90 minutes with no intermission. There will be No Late Seating for those patrons who purchased seats on the stage.
