A Dictionary of Emotions in a Time of War

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

"When you hear the sound of a shell flying at your house, at first you feel fear, then hatred. Hatred for whoever did it. For all of Russia, for all its inhabitants without exception." Yelena goes through the words describing emotions that have continually visited her ever since the war began: fear, hunger, cleaning, betrayal, hatred, love, guilt and conversations with Russian friends vs. conversations with Ukrainian friends... The Finborough Theatre's new digital initiative #FinboroughFrontier.
