"This gold digging, blonde bombshell, with her superior breasts is not going to con our father of his small worldly possessions." Meet Nikolai, a retired Ukrainian engineer and tractor historian, and his daughters, Vera and Nadezhda, who haven't spoken since the death of their mother. None of them are prepared for the fluffy pink grenade that's about to explode into their lives. Nikolai is instantly besotted with thirty-six year old bombshell Valentina, but is she a refuge searching for better opportunities, or visa seeker trying to cheat a vulnerable old man? The sisters unite in horror to defend their father and what remains of his pension. As Valentina's dreams of Western prosperity begin to shatter, things take a darker turn. Nadezhda and her shaken family must face the ghosts of their past, confront their heritage and rediscover relationships.T532658001World PremiereProducer Hull Truck Theatre.
