I have season tickets for two for Capital Stage. My companion ticket is available. The first person to sign up will join me.

If my companion ticket is taken, but you would still like to see the play, here is the link to purchase your ticket: Buy: My Mama & The Full-Scale Invasion

Sasha Denisova wrote My Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, drawing directly on phone calls with her own mother in Kyiv. The play follows an elderly woman—82 years old, living in the city under fire—while her daughter, safe abroad, tries to process what’s happening by imagining her mother in increasingly surreal situations: advising President Zelenskyy, fending off drones with pickle jars, holding her ground in a city that the world half-expected to fall within days.

The adaptation is by Kellie Mecleary, translated from Ukrainian and Russian by Misha Kachman. The subject is the war, but the play’s subject is really the woman—stubborn, specific, impossible to categorize, and very much alive.
