It's harvest time and Egor, Valerii, Ira and Lubya are enjoying some hard graft in the orchard, picking apples and packing them into boxes. but, as the day progresses, what begin as tiny problems escalate into a complete shambles and total comic mayhem. This is an ingenuous and wickedly funny comedy from Belarusian Pavel Pryazhko who has been described as a 'phenomenon' of Russian New Writing. His plays have been staged in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and all over Eastern Europe, and he has a cult following in Moscow. Absurd, fearless and mordantly funny, he examines every area of post-Soviet life with a merciless eye. UK Premiere. Performed in English.
