The Trumpeter

T01066498636
Trapped beneath the Azovstal steelworks during the siege of Mariupol in Spring 2022, the battered remnants of Ukraine's 36th Marine Brigade endure the never ending barrage of Russian heavy artillery. The trumpeter, the only survivor of the Brigade's brass band, shares the terrifying darkness with two compatriots. As the shells fall threatening death at any second, the trumpeter desperately tries to find the harmony in the noise that will enable him to compose a symphony of war... Inspired by true events, this new play by Ukrainian writer Inna Goncharova bears witness to Russia's devastating attack on Mariupol, and is also a moving and timeless reflection on the role of art in war.
