This wry, jocular work from leading Russian playwrights, the Presnyakov Brothers, features a thirty-something college dropout with a fierce willingness to avoid real work. Valya, still living with his mother, dating an indifferent girlfriend, and mixed up in a Hamlet-style vindication against a future father-in-law, makes his living by "playing dead" in murder reconstructions for the police.This defiant, deft, and delectable foray into Russian culture both submerges gleefully in irreverence and rings profoundly of truth.
The run time for Playing Dead is 90min. No Intermission.
