Planet Speranta
Finborough Theatre Online
FINBOROUGH Theatre’s Frontier has unearthed this 1965 work by a leading Soviet-Ukrainian playwright, Oleksii Kolomiiets, for its Voices From Ukraine programme of YouTube plays and interviews.
Planet Speranta (Hope) has five WWII Soviet soldiers holed up in a Ukrainian bunker surrounded by German troops.
One by one they are anonymously ordered out, presumably on a desperate attempt to report to their base while those left discuss life, love, fear and death.
